“We’ll go to great lengths to help your career go further”

Aston’s MSc in Investment Analysis is perfect for graduates who have some experience in finance, economics or a mathematical subject but have not majored in finance.

The programme is designed to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for a successful career in the financial sector, and at the same time provides an excellent qualification for those wishing to enter a management career.

Students will study equity, debt and derivatives markets in domestic and international markets and will discover how to undertake security valuation and portfolio management as well as learning about the key techniques used by financial traders.

The facilities and equipment used on this programme are of the highest standard, giving MSc finance students access to the most innovative tools available. This includes a dedicated Reuters dealing room facility and asset market trading simulations. In 2010, a £150,000 investment was opened for finance MSc students studying trading and investment analysis.

The Finance Group at Aston is highly research-orientated, with the senior members having established international reputations and a wide range of experience and expertise from both academic and practitioner sectors.
