Course Summary

Course Info

Course overview

The MSc programme in Money, Banking and Central Banking – and the new pathway to Money, Banking and Wealth Management – is designed to offer specialised teaching to UK and overseas students.

The subject is particularly relevant given all the changes introduced in banking and financial markets during the last global financial crisis as well as the changes made by major central banks in the running of their monetary policies since then.

The programme pays particular attention to the changes introduced by major central banks since March 2020, with the outbreak of Covid-19 crisis, as well as to the launch of new digital currencies by central banks and the private sector. This all emphasises again the importance of high quality monetary and banking analysis so we can assess those policies compatible with stable economic growth and financial stability over the long term.

Expert knowledge of monetary economics and monetary policy, risk management and financial institutions is going to be of crucial importance and this programme aims to produce graduates with this specialised knowledge and the skills required for a career in central banking and finance, in particular in investment banking, wealth management as well as monetary analysis suitable to pursue a career in research departments and specialised media.
