Location of National University of Ireland, Maynooth
Finance is the lifeblood that fuels the economy. The financial sector is made up of lenders and borrowers, big investors and small savers, risk lovers and risk haters, innovators and regulators. Currencies rise and fall, stock markets boom and bust, property values soar and crash, interest rates fluctuate. All of this is supported by the intricate workings of our financial systems.
Economics is about choice. It is about the allocation of scarce resources. Economics is about understanding the world we live in. The study of Economics helps us to understand the world today, to imagine a better future, and to figure out how to get there. Economics is about wealth and poverty, growth and decline, money and inflation, work and play, health and welfare, marriage and divorce, death and taxes.
As a student of Finance and Economics, you will learn how the financial system works from the perspective of the borrower and of the lender, how assets are traded, how international markets are linked, how governments try to control financial markets and how financial markets respond. You will learn how to use analytical tools - including mathematics, deductive logic and applied statistics - to examine problems and devise logical solutions. Students are not required to have any previous knowledge of Finance or Economics, only an interest in how the financial sector and the economy works and a desire to know more.
