The details

Course: Financial Economics (Including Placement Year)

UCAS code: 5A84

Start date: October 2027

Study mode: Full-time

Duration: 4 years

Location: Colchester Campus

Based in: Economics

What is the BA Financial Economics?

The BA Financial Economics is a three-year degree, or four years with an optional placement or study abroad year.

You’ll study how financial systems work, how markets allocate capital, and how financial decisions shape economies, governments, and everyday life. Combining core economic reasoning with applied financial insight, you’ll develop the skills to understand markets, institutions, and policy - and to interpret financial events with clarity, context, and confidence.

Why this course

The BA Financial Economics gives you the insight to understand how money, markets, and financial institutions shape the real economy - and the judgement to assess their impact beyond the headlines. This degree is about finance with meaning: not just prices and products, but how financial systems affect people, opportunity, stability, and long-term economic outcomes.

You’ll explore how banks, financial markets, currencies, and contracts operate, and how financial shocks spread through economies to affect employment, housing, inequality, and growth. You’ll learn why financial crises happen, how financial systems are regulated, and how policy and institutions can either amplify risk or promote stability.

Grounded in core economic principles, the course applies theory to real financial systems. You’ll study topics such as capital markets, financial institutions, accounting fundamentals, business strategy, bonds and contracts, and financial innovation - building a strong conceptual foundation without losing sight of real-world relevance.

You’ll join a department whose research shapes financial regulation, explores market behaviour and informs economic policy. Our work links financial theory to the decisions of governments, central banks and financial institutions - showing you how financial economics is really used to understand risk, assess policy and improve economic outcomes.

Throughout your degree, you’ll develop the analytical skills employers value most: interpreting financial data, evaluating economic evidence, understanding incentives, and communicating complex financial ideas clearly. This is not about memorising formulas - it’s about thinking critically about finance in context.

You can also add an optional placement or study abroad year, applying your knowledge in professional or international settings and strengthening both your CV and your global perspective.

By graduation, you’ll have the economic insight, financial literacy, and analytical confidence to pursue early careers in finance, policy, and business - or to progress into postgraduate study.

Who should apply

Students interested in how financial systems work - with no prior economics background required - just an interest in and how financial decisions affect economies, governments, businesses, and everyday life

Learners who want a strong grounding in economics and finance without focusing solely on abstract mathematics

Future professionals interested in banking, finance, policy, consultancy, regulation, or economic analysis

Those who want to understand markets, institutions, and financial risk - and develop judgement, not just technical skill

What you’ll learn

Economic foundations: Build a strong understanding of microeconomics and macroeconomics, focusing on incentives, markets, and economic behaviour

Financial systems and institutions: Examine how financial systems and institutions operate, and how they influence economic stability and outcomes

Financial economics in practice: Apply economic theory and quantitative methods to analyse firms, markets, and financial systems

Markets and risk: Explore market dynamics, financial risk, and economic stability, including how shocks spread through the economy

Quantitative and analytical skills: Develop confidence in mathematical reasoning, statistical analysis, and evidence-based evaluation of financial and economic problems

Your learning experience

Optional study abroad year: Spend a year studying at one of our partner universities, experience a different academic culture and gain an international perspective - explore destinations through the Study Abroad programme

Optional placement year: Gain professional experience alongside your studies and build confidence in workplace environments - learn more about how we support students through Placements at Essex

Applied learning: Use real-world economic examples to connect economic theory to practice

Expert teaching: Engage with research-driven teaching that brings cutting-edge economics research into the classroom

Specialist facilities: Access professional software and analytical tools used by economists and financial analysts

Components and modules explained

Components

Components are the blocks of study that make up your course. A component may have a set module which you must study, or a number of modules from which you can choose.

Each component has a status and carries a certain number of credits towards your qualification.

What this means

You must take the set module for this component and you must pass. No failure can be permitted.

Core with Options

You can choose which module to study from the available options for this component but you must pass. No failure can be permitted.

Compulsory

You must take the set module for this component. There may be limited opportunities to continue on the course/be eligible for the qualification if you fail.

Compulsory with Options

You can choose which module to study from the available options for this component. There may be limited opportunities to continue on the course/be eligible for the qualification if you fail.

Optional

The modules that are available for you to choose for each component will depend on several factors, including which modules you have chosen for other components, which modules you have completed in previous years of your course, and which term the module is taught in.

Modules are the individual units of study for your course. Each module has its own set of learning outcomes and assessment criteria and also carries a certain number of credits.

In most cases you will study one module per component, but in some cases you may need to study more than one module. For example, a 30-credit component may comprise of either one 30-credit module, or two 15-credit modules, depending on the options available.

Modules may be taught at different times of the year and by a different department or school to the one your course is primarily based in. You can find this information from the module code. For example, the module code HR100-4-FY means:

The department or school the module will be taught by.

In this example, the module would be taught by the Department of History.

The module number.

The UK academic level of the module.

A standard undergraduate course will comprise of level 4, 5 and 6 modules - increasing as you progress through the course.

A standard postgraduate taught course will comprise of level 7 modules.

A postgraduate research degree is a level 8 qualification.
