Master of Science - Banking and Finance

This distinct new MSc programme provides an innovative and flexible approach allowing students to upskill or specialise in their career.

Students will learn about international corporate finance, strategic investment and banking and wealth management. Students will also complete modules looking at risk management and corporate governance, how to identify and manage risks and how to measure and monitor organisational resilience and sustainability.

On the MSc students will also develop practical research skills and undertake a consultancy project or research-based dissertation.

On the Banking and Finance pathway, students will focus solely on international corporate finance, strategic investment and banking and wealth management.

Whichever pathway students choose, students will develop key skills in information searching, data collection, problem-solving, communications, and report-writing.

Modules will be assessed by coursework assignments and students will apply their knowledge to specific business contexts.

Students will keep up-to-date with business and financial news, and current issues facing businesses and the financial services industry through case-studies and peer-to-peer debate.

Employability skills are embedded into the programme. For example, students will use learning logs to personalise their learning and become a reflective practitioner.
