Course content

Our MSc has been designed as an industry-focused postgraduate course for graduates with good quantitative skills and some prior exposure to finance theory at undergraduate level.

The course will help you to develop both management skills and advanced financial skills, leading to financial management roles for organisations outside of the finance industry. There is a choice of Dissertation or Business in Practice route.

If you are considering further academic study (PhD) and you would like the opportunity to research a topic relating to business and finance, the dissertation enables you to test and apply the techniques and theories you have gained.
