The MRes in Finance (PhD pathway) is a two-year programme which allows you to specialise in finance and economics at the post-graduate level in preparation for progression to the PhD in Finance.

In the first year, you will receive advanced PhD-level training covering both theoretical and empirical aspects of economics and econometrics with built in provision for training in econometrics software and research databases. During the second year, you will build on this foundation and choose specialisation subjects which will expose you to frontier research in finance and related disciplines (e.g. economics, business and management, or accounting) to develop your MRes dissertation.

The programme is highly analytical, the teaching will be research driven, and you will start developing research independence through the preparation of the MRes dissertation.
