This programme aims to train you in areas of finance which have major practical and theoretical interest, especially investment analysis, corporate finance issues such as optimal capital structure and mergers and acquisitions, banking, derivatives, finance microstructure and taxation. The programme is intended to give professional postgraduate training to students wishing to pursue careers in the City, Government or elsewhere in the private sector.
Those registering for the MSc in Banking and Finance take four core modules in the first semester and two core modules plus two options in the second semester. In order to reflect the practical and applied side of this programme the School organises a number of extra optional modules that aim to provide further practical training to students, whose subject matter changes from year to year. These modules are often taught by City practitioners, who provide an insider’s view on topics of interest to the financial community.
