Major financial markets are going through their greatest changes since the Great Depression, 80 years ago. These changes spell the end of Wall Street as we have known it. They have revealed more clearly than ever the lack of skills and experience in the international investment-management industry.

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

Our MSc in Finance will develop you in each of these areas.

We maintain a highly contemporary syllabus, driven by current best practice. While we continue to use well-established techniques that have stood the test of time, we also examine in detail the most up-to-date developments in financial markets - concerning, for example, credit-risk management and derivatives, money-market behaviour and hedge-fund management. Our Finance and Investment Society regularly invites external speakers to help to maintain the topicality and relevance of our discussion.
