Financial economics focuses on the principles behind financial decisions made by individuals and companies. When taught as an academic subject, studying financial economics can prepare students for a career in financial services as hedge fund managers, stockbrokers or insurance officers.

The MSc, or Master of Science, is an internationally recognized academic degree that indicates proficiency and knowledge of a given topic or field. Most MSc programs take about four years to finish, after which some join the workforce while others continue on in the classroom.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
