Course Overview
MSc Banking and Finance is designed to prepare students for a career in the financial sector, where demand is high for specialists with knowledge of corporate finance, banking and financial market, investment and sustainable financial management.
In line with the latest developments and challenges within the global financial services sector, the programme is designed to provide advanced skills, essential for a successful career in retail, commercial, sustainable finance, investment and private banking.
The core curriculum encompasses a diverse range of subjects including finance, economics, quantitative methods, and fintech. Students will delve into the latest financial theories, acquire advanced skills to analyse financial matters and critically examine the current challenges and issues facing financial institutions.
In addition to the standard MSc Banking and Finance route, students can select from two additional pathways which lead to the awards of MSc Banking and Finance (Finance and Investment) or MSc Banking and Finance (Sustainable Financial Management), allowing students to align their academic journey with their career aspirations and areas of expertise.
How You Are Assessed
Assessment methods reflect the differing theoretical and practical approaches and learning outcomes of each individual module. These methods will vary from module to module. Each student will also be expected to write a dissertation, providing the opportunity to work with one of the Department's experienced lecturers on a selected topic and apply your knowledge to a specific problem.
Career Development
This programme with pathways is designed to provide you with advanced skills essential for a successful career in retail, commercial, sustainable finance, investment or private banking.
This course is ideal for those wanting to work as a loan officer, private banker, private wealth consultant, or contribute to the back and middle offices of an investment bank in roles such as risk management, sustainable finance and reporting, or support services.
This is a non-specialist degree and although a background in the subjects covered is welcome, it is not essential. The entry requirements are a minimum of a 2.2 honours degree or equivalent and grade B in GCSE Mathematics or equivalent. Evidence of quantitative methods or mathematics during an undergraduate degree (or A Level Grade C or above in Mathematics is valuable).
