Program Overview

Program Description:

The Oxford MSc in Financial Economics (MFE) is a full-time nine-month programme that provides outstanding training in the tools of financial economics sought by financial institutions, companies and public organisations. It combines a rigorous academic core with tailored practical application, designed in consultation with leading financial recruiters. Our students are placed within top investment banks, financial consultancies, and government finance ministries. There is also a research track for those interested in pursuing doctoral research in financial economics. The MFE is run jointly by the Saïd Business School’s finance faculty and the University’s Department of Economics. The finance faculty at the Business School is one of the fastest growing and most prestigious in Europe, and works alongside the most diverse and well-known groups of economists in the world. Together they publish prolifically in top journals, speak at academic and practitioner conferences, and advise companies, financial institutions and governments. The MSc in Financial Economics (MFE) is delivered through Oxford University’s Saïd Business School. This means that, unlike other graduate courses, the Oxford MSc in Financial Economics features interactive classes, use of case studies, practitioner teaching, and proactive careers support. The class is typically drawn from around 30 different countries around the world. Throughout the course we stress the links between financial economics theories and key finance activities. Topics are chosen in the economics courses for their relevance to finance. As an example, we list below some of the key finance activities undertaken in financial institutions and, alongside these, their financial economics underpinning and the MFE courses where this underpinning is provided.
