Course Description

The MSc Finance is ranked 4th in the UK and 19th in the World by QS Business Masters Rankings; Financial Times 6th in the UK and 21st in World by the Financial Times.

The course will help you to develop a deep theoretical and conceptual knowledge of finance and quantitative skills, preparing you for a range of careers in the financial industry.

Go beyond the application of skills and develop your ability to challenge, evaluate, and rethink established paradigms. As the anticipation of jobs being challenged by Artificial Intelligence becomes a reality, we aim to share the skills and depth of understanding needed to design, develop, and supervise these new forms of financial intelligence.

WBS benefits from excellent links to key financial institutions and employers, and this course has benefited from industry recommendations.

Entry Requirements

A 2.1 or first (or equivalent) degree in a relevant undergraduate subject from a UK university or an equivalent qualification from a globally recognised institution.

Candidates who have aspirations in finance and have studied quantitative undergraduate degrees, such as Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Data Science, and Engineering are also encouraged to apply, especially those who have opted for finance electives in those programmes.

For those applicants with a quantitative degree at undergraduate level, but who have not yet studied Finance, we offer a supplementary course that you can take at your own pace in Summer 2025. These will provide you with additional skills and knowledge in Finance for you to succeed on the course. We may require engagement with this supplementary course depending on your academic background.
