Economics (Finance)

About this course

Economics with a focus on finance is a discipline that applies the theoretical and empirical tools of economics specifically to the study of financial systems, markets, and institutions. Standard economics teaches you how markets work, how incentives shape behaviour, and how economies function at both the micro and macro level. The finance specialism focuses these tools on questions about how capital is allocated, how financial markets price risk and return, how banks and other financial intermediaries function, and how monetary policy and financial regulation affect economic outcomes. It is a combination with direct relevance to careers in financial analysis, policy, and management. At London South Bank University, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, providing a structured entry point for students building towards degree-level economics and finance.
