Overview

Finance (Economics & Finance) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Economics is assessed through coursework and group work more than examinations, and most departments run a consultancy or company project in the final stage.
