Welcome to the School of Economics & Finance. We are a dynamic research-led School that aims to both undertake research of the highest quality and to bring the understanding and excitement from the latest cutting-edge research into our teaching throughout our undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.

Our research strengths are in dynamic macroeconomics, choice theory, bounded rationality, game theory, expectations and learning, competition and innovation and climate change. We support two research centres - the Centre for Dynamic Macroeconomic Analysis (CDMA) and the Centre for Research in Industry, Enterprise, Finance and the Firm (CRIEFF). We are actively involved in the Scottish Institute for Research in Economics (SIRE).

We attract top-quality students from all over the world and currently run postgraduate M.Sc. programmes in Finance; Money Banking and Finance; International Strategy and Economics (not available from 2013 onwards); and have just introduced a new MSc in Economics.
