Financial Economy
Financial economy is the study of the functioning of capital markets, and supply, demand and value estimates of financial assets. Compared to other types of economic studies, financial economy particularly focuses on how actors adapt to the market over time or under uncertain conditions.

During the master's programme in financial economy the students will be provided with extensive knowledge of these issues.

Financial economy is also empirically oriented, and the master's programme provides the students with important skills in quantitative (econometrics) methods used in empirical analyses of the financial market.

The programme qualifies students for doing financial analysis of general economic trends and for larger production businesses. A Master's degree in Financial Economy provides the students with analytical skills which will be very useful in a variety of jobs. The master's programme in Financial Economy is a joint program between the Department of Economics and the Department of Industrial Economy and Technology Management at NTNU, and the University College of Sør-Trøndelag.
