Student Experiences
MSc Financial Economics
Christina Efstathiou
MSc Financial Economics
Graduated January 2010
This program has created a valuable conceptual and theoretical framework around my experiential learning. I learned and understood financial issues from an economic perspective at a higher level, and accumulated knowledge about how to address practical problems empirically by using these theories.
I have really enjoyed this course as it broadened my horizon and fulfilled my expectations.
I am currently enrolled in an MBA program and I am looking forward to applying all the skills and knowledge I have learned.

MSc and PhD Economics
Graduated July 2010
Studying for both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Leicester allowed me to develop a thorough understanding of Economics, whilst giving me the opportunity to undertake specialised courses in a variety of subjects.

The high quality of teaching at Leicester allowed me to complete my MSc successfully and inspired me to pursue a PhD in Economics. Under the supervision of two of Leicester’s renowned academics, I have fulfilled my ambition of completing a doctorate. I believe studying at Leicester has put me in good stead to embark on a career as a researcher.
