Extended Master of Science - Finance and Economics (July)

The Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters programmes at the University of West London are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree. Over a full-time semester, students will study four modules specially designed to improve their academic and English language skills:

• Advanced Study Skills • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation • Statistics • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters, but with a greater focus on improving students’ English skills. It also includes a Business English module, which will allow students to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

Once completed, students will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

The MSc Finance and Economics at the University of West London has been designed to equip students with the knowledge and technical skills required to meet their goals and make a meaningful contribution to the organisations they work for.

The various pathways provide students with further opportunities to pursue rewarding careers by exploring areas relevant to their chosen subject specialism.

The MSc Finance and Economics degree will equip students with the knowledge and skills required to build a strong career in the business and finance sectors. Through specialist modules such as Quantitative Approaches to Economic Analysis, and Economic Theory and Practice, students will be able to address strategic challenges faced by business organisations operating in competitive national and global markets.

If students are business or economics graduates and interested in pursuing a career in economics, this course will give them the opportunity to gain more specialist knowledge. When students study finance and economics at the University of West London, they will have direct contact with course tutors who have extensive theoretical knowledge and industry experience. Their combined expertise will support students’ professional development throughout the course.
