Gain a deep understanding of financial management strategies, empowering you to make informed decisions that drive profitability and foster sustainable business development.
This programme is also available with an Internationally Incorporated Masters (IIM) specifically designed for the needs of international students.

Overview

Financial managers cover everything from strategic analysis to the collection and preparation of accounts and financial reporting. A good financial manager must be extremely proficient in the complex systems and processes of the industry whilst also being able to delegate effectively and lead a team.

MSc Financial Management is delivered by published academics and co-developed by industry leaders. It equips students with a comprehensive framework of financial theory and the practical processes required for the sector, fused with an overview of management studies. Our graduates are ready-made robust managers who can spot errors, make decisions, analyse risk and lead a team effectively. Further, our industry standard software allows students to apply their learnings to real business data. Also available with an optional Placement.

Taking a year in industry allows you to gain work experience in the UK or overseas as part of your Master's. While the placements are self-sought, the School offers support through extra-curricular engagement with our dedicated placements team. Opting for this course with a year in industry takes the length of your course to up to two years.

What you'll learn:
Youll learn a broad overview of finance and management including corporate finance, and international financial markets and instruments, global strategy, international accounting for decision-making. You will finish your master's with a detailed report with the support of a dedicated expert supervisor.
Graduate destinations:
Our graduates find work in both financial institutions and general management in public and private sector management and consultancy both overseas and in the UK in a wide range of companies and organisations, including:
Dolfin Group Wealth Management
NatWest
Huawei
US Bank
Caterpillar
Eurex
Many of our students also stay local and find job opportunities regionally in small and medium firms or even set-up their own businesses as well-equipped entrepreneurs.
