Masters Degree Description

Our master’s in international financial and political relations explores the intersection of finance, politics and international relations by examining the changing nature of financial systems, banking and regulation, and issues of governance.

The contemporary world is interconnected by global financial networks as never before. Global flows of money are pivotal in the twenty-first century world economy, yet are shaped by regulation in geographically-specific ways to produce a dynamic financial landscape.

The increasing globalisation of financial and political networks is leading to greater demand for qualified specialists to provide both basic and applied knowledge in this area. Our MSc International Financial and Political Relations directly addresses these requirements.

Entry Requirements

A 2:2 honours degree with 55% or above (or equivalent international qualification) in Geography, Politics, International relations, European Studies, Economics, Sociology, Cultural Studies, Business Studies, Accountancy and Finance or History.
