Course overview

The MSc Finance provides a firm foundation in Finance, Financial Economics and Empirical Finance and has been ranked among the top 55 Finance programmes in the world by the Financial Times in their 2023 Masters in Finance pre-experience ranking.

Introduction

The programme provides a solid grounding in modern finance and economics with a particular emphasis on techniques and models and their application to real-world problems.

As well as providing you with firm academic foundations, this course also aims to develop the individual. You will learn vital skills expected of graduates alongside ‘soft’ skills of team working, creative thinking and high-impact communication.

You’ll also benefit from our exclusive calendar of guests and events. Recent speakers have included senior executives from Newsmith Capital, Burger King, UBS and Cable and Wireless.

The MSc Finance has received recognition by the CFA Institute for its Affiliation Program, which is a global association of investment professionals that offers the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation. Affiliated status is granted to institutions whose degree programmes incorporate at least 70% of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK). This provides a solid grounding in the CBOK, which positions students well should they plan to sit the CFA exams.

The CFA qualification is a globally recognised industry designation and affiliated universities are seen as a desirable postgraduate destination, offering programmes that provide a strong foundation in all aspects of finance and a practical knowledge of the finance sector.
