MSc Financial Management
Course overview
This Master of Science (MSc) course is built to give you strong skills in finance. You will learn both the ideas behind finance and how to work with financial numbers. This prepares you for a successful career in companies and financial organisations. The course is recognised by the CFA Institute, meaning it covers many of the key areas finance professionals need to know. You will gain important knowledge about financial rules, theories, and concepts.
You will also develop excellent analytical skills to tackle financial problems in businesses, whether they are local or international. You will learn through lectures, small group discussions, and hands-on workshops. These include group projects, practice exercises, and presentations. Your learning will be checked with written tests, assignments, a major research project (a dissertation), a collection of your work (a portfolio), and a spoken test.
