Course programme

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

The MSc Finance comprises nine or ten taught modules and an end of year project. Six are core modules, taken during the first two terms. Three or four elective modules are taken during the spring and summer terms. You will devote the summer to the completion of the project.

Students can either opt to pursue a traditional research project (10,000 words) or an 'Applied Financial Research' report (3,000 words) together with an additional elective.

A strong academic background in a quantitative discipline (e.g. mathematics, statistics, econometrics, engineering) is essential.
