This programme is intended to provide both basic training in preparation for higher degrees by research (MPhil/PhD) and vocational training for careers in the financial services sectors of industry and Government, particularly banking and central banking.
The MSc in Banking and Finance provides training in banking, finance and research methods. It also allows continued specialisation in either microeconomics or macroeconomics. This enables students to develop expertise in areas of economics, banking and finance that suit them best. A very wide choice of options is available.
