Economics, Finance and Management

Economics, finance, and management together form one of the most commercially powerful combinations available at degree level. Economics provides the theoretical and empirical tools for understanding how markets, firms, and economies function. Finance adds the specialist knowledge of how capital is raised, allocated, and priced.

Management provides the organisational and strategic frameworks through which firms make decisions and achieve their objectives. Bringing all three together gives you a genuinely comprehensive understanding of how the commercial world works.

This four-year full-time degree at Queen Mary University of London is designed to give you professional training in economics and finance alongside knowledge of the corporate world. QMUL's location in London, one of the world's major financial centres, is genuinely significant: the institution's proximity to the City and Canary Wharf creates opportunities for industry engagement, guest speakers, and placement connections that a programme in a different location cannot replicate. The typical entry tariff of 152 points reflects both the competitive demand for places and the academic level at which the programme operates.

You will develop quantitative and analytical skills alongside a practical understanding of financial markets, corporate strategy, and organisational behaviour.

Graduates are well prepared for careers in investment banking, asset management, corporate finance, management consulting, financial analysis, strategy roles in large organisations, and the growing field of financial technology. The combination of economics, finance, and management is particularly valued by employers who want graduates who can move across functional boundaries and who understand the whole commercial system, not just one part of it. Many graduates also proceed to postgraduate study in finance, economics, management, or related fields.

The four-year duration gives you the depth to build real expertise before you graduate.
