The MSc in Finance is a one-year Master’s programme providing a leading European finance education, a high degree of flexibility in your learning experience and modern industry-relevant specialisms. This programme is structured to provide an intake in January and September. Our September intake programme is structured as a core learning first semester, followed by two specialist streams in the second semester and the completion of a dissertation. The two streams are Capital Markets and Sustainable Innovative Finance. Through these streams and excellent practical and research-informed core learning, we allow you to specialize in a manner that reflects your interests and career aspirations. Candidates apply for admission to the MSc in Finance (September intake – Common Entry) which provides a common pathway into two specialised streams. At the end of the first semester, with the help and advice of faculty, each student will choose which stream to take.

Our January intake programme is structured as a core learning first semester with three compulsory modules and two optional modules to choose from – Financial Risk Management, Financial Technology and Innovation and Sustainable Finance. This is followed by three taught modules in Semester 2, beginning in September, and the Dissertation module running across summer and Semester 2. The modules taught in this programme provide excellent practical and research-informed core learning. We allow you to take up optional modules in a manner that reflects your interests and career aspirations. We offer an ideal path for graduates of business and economics degrees and qualifying non-specialists who wish to undertake a career in finance by obtaining a leading European postgraduate qualification.
