Develop in-depth knowledge of finance and risk management theory and learn to apply it in practice. Graduate prepared for a career in either field.

Receive a theoretical foundation in finance and risk management. You’ll learn to analyse financial decisions and the motivations behind them, and how to apply this knowledge in the real world. Our emphasis on technical and practical skills means you will graduate prepared for a finance career.

You'll work with and learn from industry experts. This makes sure you'll explore the most topical issues in finance practice. You'll also develop technical skills employers look for like:

• programming
• financial modelling
• applications of FinTech

You’ll have the flexibility to choose one of two options for the summer term:

• do a dissertation (either an academic research project or an applied research project)
• do an internship

Internships are not guaranteed. Places are competitive and we advertise opportunities to students.

You will need an International English Language Test System (IELTS) score of at least 6.5 overall. Your scores for reading, writing, listening and speaking must be at least 6.0.

With the successful completion of the programme, you will graduate with the specialist knowledge and employability skills for a career in academic, clinical, industrial or commercial sectors anywhere in the world.
