Shipping, Trade and Finance

Overview

Shipping, Trade and Finance MSc Who is it for?

Choose this course if you thrive under the pressure of solving tough challenges on tight deadlines, you’re business-focused, and you’re equally capable at hands-on, practical subjects and academic theories. You’ll already have the equivalent of a UK upper second class degree, and some experience of studying finance or quantitative methods.

You’ll appreciate the value of having a qualification – equally respected by academia and the industry – that prepares you for roles from shipping finance, shipbroking to commodity trading. You’ll also relish the opportunity to make new connections with business leaders from the global shipping industry, as well as your peers from all around the world.

If you have been studying in the UK for the last three years it is unlikely that you will have to take an English language test.

If you have studied in the UK at degree level for less than three years (e.g. 3+1, 2+1, 2+2, etc.) you will be required to provide the results of an approved English language test and possibly resit the test to meet our academic entry requirements.

The wide curriculum and interdisciplinary approach of your MSc degree opens up a broad range of global career opportunities. Our graduates have gone on to work as shipbrokers, trading and shipping research analysts, commodity traders, consultants, in investment banking and trading, and in other operational and strategic roles in more than 70 countries.

As well as support from the Bayes specialist careers teams and the members of the Costas Grammenos Centre for Shipping, Trade and Finance, you will also find support, meet mentors and make new connections through the Shipping and, Energy and Commodity Societies.
