Course Description

Our MSc has been designed as an industry-focused postgraduate course for graduates with good quantitative skills.

The course will help you to develop both management skills and advanced financial skills, leading to financial management roles for organisations outside of the finance industry. There is a choice of Dissertation or Business in Practice route.
