Overview

The MSc in Finance is widely regarded as one of the leading postgraduate qualifications for finance professionals. Focusing on the key elements of corporate finance, investment management and quantitative finance, the aim of the course is to produce specialists who have a strong financial perspective on corporate activity, pension fund behaviour, the economy and international financial markets.

We help you to develop the personal skills that will be most relevant to your finance career. Our Masters in Finance graduates are in demand, because the finance professions need people who

understand the business and economic environment in which they operate
know in detail the models they implement and
can skilfully apply the results in practice

Students will also have the benefit of working in the new Trading Room, with access to real-life market trading data, and to gain the Reuters trading certificate, should they wish to.
