Study Details: MSc Full-time: 1 year Part-time: 2 years Flexible: up to 5 years
This innovative MSc considers the perspectives of infrastructure investment and finance. It is aimed at developing global leaders and professionals for the infrastructure sector. It draws on the expertise of external organisations such as infrastructure developers, advisors, asset managers and multi-lateral development banks in delivering cutting-edge knowledge and industry practice.
There is a growing demand for infrastructure investment globally, as traditional sources of public funding and finance can no longer be relied upon to provide the necessary capital. Our Infrastructure Investment and Finance master’s course considers both the procurement of infrastructure and the critical role of private finance in meeting investment requirements to bridge the infrastructure gap.
With a strong commercial focus, this course offers a comprehensive blend of economic and financial theory alongside practical industry insights. Key modules include examining the historical and future landscape of infrastructure investment at global, national, and sector levels; assessing the impact of government policies, funding, and private capital markets; exploring regulatory frameworks to incentivise private investment; analysing the cost of capital in infrastructure projects; and managing risk allocation in project delivery.
Throughout the programme, students are offered a deep understanding of the perspectives of infrastructure project sponsors, lenders, investors, and contractors across all stages from procurement to operation.
This one-year programme provides graduates with the skills necessary for careers in infrastructure procurement and development, whether as public sector advisors, private sector financing specialists or consultants within advisory firms.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university in a relevant subject (including engineering, mathematical-based science, built environment, economics and finance), or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. In exceptional cases, a lesser academic qualification combined with substantial professional experience and demonstrable academic ability will allow acceptance onto the programme.
