MRes in Finance and Management

Students must take 180 credits. These are composed of 90 taught credits comprising core and optional modules and a 90 credit dissertation.

The MRes in Finance and Management has three components:

1. Four core modules
2. Two option modules
3. Dissertation of 20,000 words on an approved topic

The 20,000-word dissertation is worth 50% of your final mark. During term 2 you will submit your dissertation proposal and be allocated an academic supervisor. Over the ensuing months you should meet with your supervisor at least three times before the end of term 3 for guidance. The bulk of your dissertation will be written over the summer to meet the mid-September deadline.

Not all option modules are offered every year; please check your preferences with the Programme Convenor. Also note that where 15 credit modules are selected, these should be balanced between term 1 and term 2.
