Overview: Missed the recent webinar? The recording is now available to watch: Speaker - Youwei Li, Programme Director Click here to watch the recorded webinar This MSc is designed to provide students with the necessary skills to understand financial markets and institutions, as well as to prepare students for a PhD in Finance or Economics. Why Queen's? Launched in the early 1990s this is one of the longest running Finance Masters in the UK. The programme has strong links with organisations such as CITI, NYSE, First Derivatives, PWC, Allstate and all of the major banks. The programme invites guest speakers from industry each semester to enrich the learning experience of the students. Students have direct access to up-to-date international financial data sets, such as DATASTREAM, Thomson ONE Banker Analytics and Osiris. Using such resources, each student is encouraged to prepare professional-level assignments, which are designed to prepare our graduates for a career in the financial sector. Students must also complete a dissertation under personal supervision, typically addressing an interesting financial market issue, requiring a statistical analysis approach. The MSc Finance programme has been accepted into the CFA Institute University Recognition Program. This status is granted to institutes whose degree programs incorporate at least 70 per cent of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK), which provide students with a solid grounding in the CBOK and positions them well to sit for the CFA exams. Trading Room: the First Derivatives Trading Room has recently been established in the Management School, and some of the taught modules will make use of this facility, which provides students with real-life experience of a busy stock exchange with the capacity to deal in equities, bonds, foreign exchange and derivative instruments.
