The MFE is delivered through the University of OxfordÕs Sa•d Business School and is run jointly by the Sa•d Business School's finance faculty and the University's Department of Economics. This means that, unlike more conventional graduate courses, the programme features interactive classes, use of case studies, practitioner teaching, and proactive careers support.
The Oxford MSc in Financial Economics course offers:
- pre-course training to become familiar with key concepts and techniques
- three days of training in financial markets and institutions, which may take place in Oxford/London and/or Hong Kong
- four core courses in asset pricing, economics, corporate finance and financial econometrics
- five elective courses chosen from a wide range to allow the development of individual skills and specialisations
- the opportunity to participate in the OxfordÊSa•d Finance Lab, a series of practical workshops on financial modelling involving real-world case studies.
The assessment regime is a flexible combination of examinations, assignments and individual projects.
