About MRes Finance, MRes - at University of Essex

Our MRes Finance is designed for those wishing to follow a career in research and/or academia. It is the ideal first step if you hope to progress to doctoral studies, such as PhD.

We equip you with the skills and knowledge to appreciate the depth and breadth of finance theories and techniques and apply these within a social science context. The content of our course is a direct response to requirements for, and suggested improvements in, research training laid down by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

You deepen your thinking about finance and develop a broader understanding of the changing roles and perception of finance within an ever-changing social context.

You develop knowledge and understanding of:

  • research skills, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches
  • theoretical stances underpinning different approaches to research
  • how to design a research proposal, including construction of research questions and/or hypotheses
  • launching and managing a research project, including data collection, analysis and interpretation

You study at Essex Business School, at our Colchester Campus. We are the largest department at the University of Essex and 75% of our research was deemed world leading or internationally excellent (REF, 2014).

Our MRes Finance is also available to study part-time.

Postgraduate loans for Masters courses are available from the Student Loans Company, for students from the UK and EU.
