Course summary
Economics and Finance are at the heart of what we see on the news, whether that’s the impact of financial markets, soaring interest rates or challenges around global trade. Studying with us, you’ll look at the economy as a whole, but you’ll analyse the behaviour and motivations of individuals and companies too.
You’ll be immersed in industry from day one. Our academics will share how their research is informing policy and public debate. Step off campus and you’ll be near London’s financial centres, the City and Canary Wharf. We’re also connected to leaders within the Bank of England, HM Treasury, and other financial institutions and professional bodies.
You can also register for the Investment Management Certificate exam to achieve an additional professional qualification highly valued by employers.
Success starts here
You’ll have access to real-life data with our Bloomberg trading terminals. You’ll also use an Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation (TWS) and FXCM FX Trading Station to analyse real-time financial market data and the relationships between economic variables.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)
Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for.
Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3.
Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/
If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
