MSc Financial Economics

Christina Efstathiou

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.

Kavita Sirichand

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.

Leicester is well known for the expertise of its academics in a broad range of topics in Economics and Finance.

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.
