Bachelor in Financial Economics

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Western University

Program Overview

Financial economics concentrates on decision making when two considerations are particularly important: first, some of the outcomes are risky; second, both the decisions and the outcomes may occur at different times. The subject is usually applied to investment decisions, particularly in financial markets (hence the name) such as the stock market, but it also has close links to the parts of microeconomics connected with insurance and saving. Financial economics builds heavily on microeconomics and basic accounting concepts. In addition, it requires familiarity with basic probability and statistics, since these are the standard tools used to measure and evaluate risk.
