MA Financial Economics with Spanish
About this course
Financial economics with Spanish combines rigorous economic and financial analysis with the depth of engagement that serious language study provides. Financial economics examines the theory and practice of financial markets, investment, asset pricing, risk management and corporate finance, applying economic reasoning to the specific challenges of understanding how capital is allocated and how financial systems behave. Spanish, the first language of more than 480 million people across Europe and the Americas, opens access to major economies, rich literary and cultural traditions, and a global professional network of considerable importance. At the University of Dundee you will study financial economics with Spanish over four years of full-time study, following a programme that begins with a strong grounding in economic principles before progressing to more specialist financial content alongside developing your Spanish language skills. A year abroad is built into the programme, giving you immersive experience in a Spanish-speaking country and the opportunity to develop genuine fluency in an authentic language environment. The typical tariff of 200 reflects the combined analytical and linguistic demands of a degree that requires both quantitative rigour and commitment to language learning over the full four years. Graduates are well placed for careers in investment banking, asset management, corporate finance, financial analysis, economic consultancy, central banking and public policy. The Spanish language competency significantly broadens employability, opening roles in Latin American markets, Spanish financial institutions, international organisations and multinational firms operating across the Spanish-speaking world. Many graduates go on to postgraduate study in financial economics, economics, finance or related fields, and the programme also provides a strong foundation for professional qualifications in investment analysis, financial risk or accountancy. The combination of rigorous quantitative training and genuine language ability is a relatively rare and consistently valued package in competitive graduate recruitment.
