Course content

This Master's is designed for those who wish to pursue a career in the investment banking sector where demand is high for specialists with applicable knowledge of corporate finance, investment, commercial, and investment banking across the global market.

MSc International Investment Banking is designed to shed light on how the economy works, how decisions are made, and how financial systems and capital markets operate. The programme is available for either a September or February start.

Students on the programme have the opportunity to work on the Lincoln Student Managed Investment Fund, which operates in the same style as an investment management company operating on the London Stock Exchange. Supported by staff who have previously worked as investment bankers, students run all aspects of the fund and are fully responsible for its success.

Successful graduates may go on to pursue careers in finance and investment, in roles including financial manager, investment portfolio manager, and private/commercial/investment banker in varied economic and political contexts.
