Finance

About this course

Finance as a discipline is concerned with how money is allocated, invested and managed across time and under uncertainty. It provides the analytical framework for understanding how businesses raise capital, how investors make decisions, how financial markets function, and how risk is measured and priced. Finance is at the heart of every major economic decision, and its complexity and significance have grown with the internationalisation of capital markets, the proliferation of new financial instruments, and the increasingly sophisticated demands placed on financial institutions and regulators. A rigorous education in finance develops quantitative skills, economic reasoning and the ability to make sound decisions in conditions of uncertainty. At the London School of Economics, this three-year full-time degree is one of the most rigorous and prestigious finance programmes available. LSE's
