Financial Economics BSc (Hons) at Coventry University

The UK is one of the world’s prominent financial centres. Government figures show the financial services sector contributed £132 billion to the UK economy in 2018, a figure which accounts for 6.9% of the UK’s total economic output. This prominence can mean there is a demand for graduates with a thorough knowledge of the sector – knowledge you could gain by studying financial economics.

Our Financial Economics course provides a specialist focus on financial systems, such as the role of banks and the operation of stock markets, both here in the UK and within an international context. Sharing a common first year with our other economics courses, you will have the opportunity to gain a strong grounding in economics concepts and principles, before specialising in the area of financial economics.

Through a focus on contemporary economic debates and the applications of economics, our course seeks to cultivate logical thinking, quantitative skills and real-world expertise to support your potential future employability upon successful graduation. Former graduates of the course have gone on to find successful careers in areas such as financial services, accountancy, consultancy and the civil service.
