After Graduation

Graduates are able to work on economic and financial issues using the methods and instruments of theoretical and empirical economic research. The skills acquired go beyond those taught in a corresponding bachelor's degree. In particular, graduates can independently read and understand the relevant scientific literature as well as question them critically and apply them to specific economic questions. You are familiar with modern theories of economics and finance and can check their statements on the basis of data. Graduates have the knowledge that enables them to take up an economics doctoral program with independent scientific research.

The Department of Economics offers a graduate cooperative education option in its Master of Science in Economics program. This exciting program option allows qualified students to enhance their practice-oriented graduate education in economics with actual work experience. Please note that this is paid work and not an unpaid internship. Students who meet the following academic criteria are eligible to apply for participation in this program:

• Completion of the four core courses
• Completion of two semesters of coursework
• A minimum grade point average of 3.500

Following a rigorous internal interview process, successful applicants are recommended to, and interview with, prospective employers. The final decision on hiring is made by the employer.

What does it mean to be STEM designated?

For starters, it means international students can legally work in the u.s. after graduation..

What aspects of the MFin curriculum make STEM classification possible?  Our STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program classification means that MFin complies with the definitions set forth by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).  MFin’s curriculum focuses on the rigorous application of mathematics and statistics to the discipline of finance, including the development, critique, and application of financial models and instruction on a comprehensive range of methodologies, processes, and applications, which amounts to an extra two years of working in the United States.

What is the significance of STEM Classification for international students?  Classification as a STEM program as defined by the DHS allows international students to extend their training in the United States by working in their field of study. 

What are the terms of the extended training?  International Master of Finance graduates on F-1 visas will have the option to remain in the United States for an additional 24 months via the optional practical training STEM extension. Instead of 12 months of optional practical training, they have a total of 36 months under STEM, which amounts to an extra two years of working in the United States.

• M.S. Quantitative Financial Economics

Note: MQFE is not accepting applications for 2023. 

The M.S. in Quantitative Financial Economics (MQFE) is designed for students who are seeking the greater depth and rigor that are increasingly required by advanced academic programs, as well as in the private sector. If your goal is to prepare yourself and improve your candidacy for a Ph.D. program in finance at a top business school, then this is the program for you. Equally, if you would like to improve your skills in quantitative financial analysis to enter, or move to the next level, in your career in finance, our program can help you to achieve this goal. This program is unique in offering advanced courses in volatility modeling, analysis of high-frequency data, and continuous time finance, as these are areas of expertise within the  financial economics group at Duke .

Students' course selections are based on their specific interests and on recommendations made by their academic advisors in order to meet their longer-run goals. In addition to taking a variety of master's-level courses, students with sufficient preparation will be encouraged to enroll in a combination of doctoral-level courses in financial economics and financial econometrics. The curriculum can be completed in either three or four semesters. Throughout their participation in the program, students compile a portfolio that tracks their academic growth and showcases their accomplishments. The portfolio is composed of research papers, presentations, and other professional documents. It serves as a valuable tool for applying both to jobs and doctoral programs.

Degree Requirements Summary

MQFE courses will be taught predominantly by the  faculty of the Duke Financial Economics Center .  

• ECON 571 Financial Markets & Investments (3 credits, first semester)
• ECON 623 Forecasting Financial Markets (3 credits, second semester)

Course Details

Certain courses in the Departments of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science may be counted as electives towards the 30-credit requirement with advance approval; however, students must complete a minimum of 24 credits in Department of Economics courses. Per Graduate School policy, to count toward the 30-credit requirement, all courses must be at the 500 level or above. 

It is the policy of The Graduate School that undergraduate courses (499 or lower) do not count towards the M.A. degree or a student's GPA. Courses that are cross-listed as both undergraduate- and graduate-level courses count towards the M.A. degree and a student's GPA only if they have a separate, more rigorous syllabus for graduate students. It is the student's responsibility to verify that this is the case before enrolling in any cross-listed courses.

STEM Designation

This degree program classifies as STEM (CIP Code 45.0603: Econometrics and Quantitative Economics), and students in this program can apply for a  24-month STEM extension of F-1 Optional Practical Training (OPT) .

MSc Finance and Economics

• Graduate taught
• Department of Finance
• Application code LN43
• Starting 2024
• Home full-time: Open
• Overseas full-time: Open
• Location: Houghton Street, London

The MSc Finance and Economics draws on the School's strengths in economics, finance and econometrics. It is aimed at students who are interested in gaining a deep understanding of the theory and practice of financial markets.

This interdisciplinary degree, taught jointly by the Department of Finance and the Department of Economics, offers exceptional graduates from quantitative disciplines the opportunity to study in two of the most highly rated departments in their subject areas in the world.

As we teach you not only how to apply and use various well-known models, but also to understand the fundamental concepts on which they are based, you will learn how to alter, test and adapt these models in new market environments. In learning what makes the models tick, you will develop an awareness of the assumptions on which they rely, and - increasingly important in today’s markets - of situations in which these assumptions can break down.

As well as developing your understanding of financial economics, financial econometrics, microeconomics and macroeconomics to a high level, you will have the opportunity to investigate two further specialist aspects of finance in elective courses.

The rigour of the Finance and Economics programme is recognised across the world. As the most academically oriented of our programmes, it provides an excellent grounding for students who are interested in progressing to a PhD in finance or in economics.

Successful applicants come from a variety of quantitative backgrounds including economics, mathematics, engineering, statistics, finance and others. To apply, you should have strong credentials in mathematics and a fascination for finance.

For the most up-to-date list of optional courses please visit the relevant School Calendar page. 

Please note that,  while care has been taken to ensure that this information is up to date and correct, a change of circumstances since publication may cause the School to change, suspend or withdraw a course or programme of study, or change the fees that apply to it. The School will always notify the affected parties as early as practicably possible and propose any viable and relevant alternative options. Note that the School will neither be liable for information that after publication becomes inaccurate or irrelevant, nor for changing, suspending or withdrawing a course or programme of study due to events outside of its control, which includes but is not limited to a lack of demand for a course or programme of study, industrial action, fire, flood or other environmental or physical damage to premises.

You must also note that places are limited on some courses and/or subject to specific entry requirements. The School cannot therefore guarantee you a place. Please note that changes to programmes and courses can sometimes occur after you have accepted your offer of a place. These changes are normally made in light of developments in the discipline or path-breaking research, or on the basis of student feedback. Changes can take the form of altered course content, teaching formats or assessment modes. Any such changes are intended to enhance the student learning experience. You should visit the School’s  Calendar , or contact the relevant academic department, for information on the availability and/or content of courses and programmes of study. Certain substantive changes will be listed on the  updated graduate course and programme information  page.

Teaching and assessment

Teaching .

The format of teaching for MSc Finance and Economics courses varies. Some courses may have two-hour lectures followed by a separate class; others may have three-hour interactive sessions. Teaching sessions can vary in size depending upon the course. Some classes may be taught by Graduate Teaching Assistants. Students on the MSc Finance and Economics programme have on average 11 hours of contact time per week during the teaching terms.

Assessment methods

Examinations:  MSc Finance and Economics students have two exams in Week 0 of Winter Term. The Summer Exam Period takes place from late April until early June. The exam timetable changes each year and is published by the school at least six weeks before the start of the exam period.

Summative work:  Some Finance courses contain a coursework element which contributes to the final course grade. At LSE this type of coursework is called 'summative assessment'. Different courses set different types of summative work. Some courses require weekly submission of problem sets which all make up a small percentage of the final grade. Summer Exams in some elective courses are replaced by In-Class Assessments, which can take place from the end of Winter Term.

Formative work:  At LSE, any work which is set but does not contribute towards the final course mark is known as formative work. The purpose of formative work is to inform students of their progress on the course and whether they are understanding the concepts taught in lectures. Some formative work is informal, via the setting of problems sets that the teacher will work through with the class, however most courses will also ask for a piece of work to be submitted and then graded.

Academic support

All academic faculty schedule weekly office hours in which any student may visit them to discuss academic issues. In some cases, students may be able to arrange a time to meet with a member of faculty outside their office hours.

The MSc Finance & Economics Associate Programme Director will also be your Academic Mentor. Her role is to keep an overview of your academic progress and overall wellbeing during your time at the School. In addition, she has extensive experience of the financial services sector, enabling her to provide a high level of careers support.

There are many opportunities to extend your learning outside the classroom and complement your academic studies at LSE.  LSE LIFE  is the School’s centre for academic, personal and professional development. Some of the services on offer include: guidance and hands-on practice of the key skills you will need to do well at LSE: effective reading, academic writing and critical thinking; workshops related to how to adapt to new or difficult situations, including development of skills for leadership, study/work/life balance and preparing for the world of work; and advice and practice on working in study groups and on cross-cultural communication and teamwork.

LSE is committed to enabling all students to achieve their full potential and the School’s  Disability and Wellbeing Service  provides a free, confidential service to all LSE students and is a first point of contact for all disabled students. It is a first point of contact for all students with physical impairments, long-term health conditions, mental health conditions, specific learning difficulties, and autistic spectrum conditions.

Professional Development Programme

The Department of Finance runs an extensive Professional Development Programme alongside the Academic programme to support and prepare students to enter the job market. Starting in the pre-sessional course in August, students are given a wide range of careers support, from CV workshops and application advice to sector overviews and opportunities to meet and network with recent alumni who are working in London.

We run a variety of events to best prepare students for the competitive financial services sector job market:

Technical Interview Prep Workshop

This workshop is designed to introduce students to the corporate valuation methodologies that are most often presented to them during finance interviews.  Using an intensive exercise-based approach, the workshop covers finance concepts, reinforces them through problems, and then integrates them into interview question drills.

All students are given access to crash courses in accounting and excel. The course also provides a useful grounding for the “Theories of Corporate Finance” part of the FM436 Financial Economics course.

Presentation Skills Workshop

Delivered by a professional corporate coach, this interactive workshop gives students the tools to communicate with impact, influence and confidence.

Graduates of the Department have excellent career prospects. Our MSc programmes prepare students for a range of careers in the financial services sector, as can be seen in the  Department of Finance Employment Report .

Each year a number of graduates are accepted into top PhD programmes in the UK, US and Europe. Some students choose to take a pre-doctoral research position after graduation and commence a PhD later. Students considering the PhD route will be able to discuss this with the Associate Programme Director and faculty members.

Selected institutions for PhD study (last 5 years)

Departmental Careers Support

Examples of the types of organisations include investment banks, central banks, economic and strategy consulting firms, professional services firms and financial boutiques.

In addition to the internationally recognised research environment and academic rigour of its teaching programmes, a great advantage of studying at LSE is the reputation it holds amongst employers for producing high level graduates.

Research Papers in Economics and Finance

About the journal.

The Research Papers in Economics and Finance (REF, ISSN 2543-6430) is a professional,  peer reviewed, e-journal of economics and finance. REF is published by the Poznan University of Economics and Business, which is one of the few academic institutions in Poland to invariably receive a top rank (category 1) from the State Committee for Scientific Research.

REF covers economics and finance. In the field of economics the submitted papers should focus on particular topics, such as micro and macroeconomic policy, the theory of economics, development, growth, fluctuations in the economy or in various sectors, functioning of the markets, spatial economics. In the field of finance the papers should examine all phenomena related to the financial sphere of the economy, analyse the causes and effects of the flow of capital, identify motives and criteria for economic decisions. The research area of these papers may include: a) in terms of the subject matter: public finance, corporate finance, personal finance and households, financial institutions (including banks, insurance companies, investment fund companies and pension funds), international finance; b) in functional terms: investing (especially when the aim is to obtain financial income), raising capital, financial markets, financial policy, analysis and transfer of financial risk, redistribution of financial resources (e.g. through the tax system). All submitted papers are expected to formulate hypotheses and build models for the relationships between real and monetary variables in the economy, as well as to verify them using empirical tests.
