As there is no generally recognised professional qualification in finance, it is particularly suitable for graduates in quantitative subjects who wish to prepare for careers in the financial services sector, and it provides a suitable advanced education in finance for good graduates from a wide range of disciplines.
Many holders of the MSc are now employed in senior positions in banks and financial institutions in the UK and world-wide. Several others have entered careers in higher education and research.
For those interested in studying to become a Chartered Financial Analyst, it is worth noting that the MSc in Finance modules contribute widely to CFA study sessions at levels 1, 2 and 3. Details of modules that relate to the CFA content are provided under Programme Content. In addition, we offer a non-assessed module that is closely related to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, CFA Level 2.
Finally, the MSc in Finance is accredited by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
