Course programme
The MFE is delivered through the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School and is run jointly by the Saïd 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.
Throughout the programme, teaching stresses the links between theories in financial economics and key finance activities. Topics are chosen in the economics courses for their relevance to finance. The MFE has been designed in close consultation with a panel of advisers from leading financial institutions.
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 Oxford Saïd Finance Lab, a co-curricular toolkit to tackle financial problems ranging from valuations to leveraged buyouts, to M&A transactions and more.
The assessment regime is a flexible combination of examinations, assignments and individual projects.
