Financial Management is one of the key disciplines necessary for the successful management of business corporations and other organisations. Studying the theories underlying Financial Management practices allows students to understand and explain the financial behaviours of organisations.
The MSc in Financial Management is a comprehensive study of key areas in accounting and corporate finance. It is designed for graduates interested in a career in the finance function of a company, in business analysis or in management consultancy practice. The MSc takes a broad internal management perspective rather than a narrow external or financial market based perspective.
Graduates of Financial Management can work in two main areas of an organisation. Within Accounting, financial management sits in management accounting - the internal facing function - which services the information needs of the organisation’s management. Another option is a role in the Corporate Finance function which is concerned with managing the finances of the organisation - in treasury management, resource allocation, capital structuring and financial risk management.
