Oxford Economics & Finance Summer School

Dive into the world of Economics & Finance

Oxford Royale’s Economics & Finance Summer School provides a comprehensive understanding of both finance and economics, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of the modern business environment. By integrating these complementary disciplines, students will develop a well-rounded perspective on the financial, strategic, and microeconomic and macroeconomic factors that influence business decision-making.

The curriculum explores the essential elements of corporate finance, including sources of funding, financial analysis, and risk management, while also delving into the principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics and their practical applications to business decision-making.

Through case studies, simulations, and real-world projects, students will develop the ability to critically evaluate business problems, assess the economic landscape, and formulate effective strategies that drive sustainable growth and profitability. This programme prepares ambitious students for a wide range of dynamic careers in the realms of finance, consulting, entrepreneurship, and economic policy.
