You will work with research who have strong academic backgrounds. Some also have significant industry experience, having held various roles in top-tier investment banks, hedge funds and relevant industries. Our research is mainly conducted within two research groups:
Our cross disciplinary Business Finance Research Group focuses on corporate finance and governance in both public and private companies, as well the roles of private equity firms, banks, and other financial intermediaries. The group publishes on areas such as financial misconduct, banking regulation, entrepreneurial finance, and the impact of global crises on corporate finance.
Our Quantitative FinTech (QFin) research group includes experts in quantitative finance, FinTech and climate finance. The group collaborates with business and industry on numerous research initiatives with direct relevance to important problems in global financial markets.
Both groups hold regular research seminars with internal and external speakers.
Degree requirements: You’re normally expected to have at least a Merit (an average of 60% of overall) in a relevant master’s degree and an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree. Subject-specific requirements: You may also be considered for the course if you don’t have the academic qualifications required but can show evidence of long-term work experience in a related area.
