Regulation and Compliance MSc

This programme teaches you how to manage practical issues in compliance and regulation. You can take general and specialist modules to tailor your degree to your needs and career trajectory.

You may choose from the following pathways:

• Regulation and Compliance
• Financial and Insurance Regulation
• Data Protection and Information Security
• Business and Trade Regulation
• Energy and Environmental Regulation

The programme consists of four core modules, which cover the problems facing regulators in designing regulation and compliance officers in their day-to-day activity.

You will select from a range of elective ‘specialist’ modules and write a research dissertation. The dissertation includes two elements: a specialist case study that simulates compliance duties and a 5,000-word free-topic essay.

If you want to follow one of the specialised pathways, your elective modules and dissertation must be relevant to your specialism. Otherwise, you can choose a general route and select modules from across the pathways.

During your induction week, you are expected to attend a pre-sessional law course to refresh your understanding of relevant legal concepts.
