It depends. Many Master's in Finance programs accept students without an economics background, but you must typically show strong quantitative skills - such as coursework in mathematics, statistics, or related fields.

- Some universities require specific credits in economics and quantitative methods.
- Others may accept degrees in fields like engineering or mathematics if you've completed relevant modules.
- Professional experience or standardized tests like the GMAT can also strengthen your profile.
