Location of Cass Business School
This course is now closed for September 2011 entry
The City of London is the centre of the global finance, maritime, insurance and commodity trading industries.
So, Cass is perfectly placed to help you maximise the many opportunities in these areas. And each of these Masters degrees will give you the skills necessary to operate at the decision-making levels of activities such as shipping, transport, logistics, supply chain management and related sectors and industries.
Cass creates experts
MSc in Energy, Trade & Finance alumnus and Oil & Gas Analyst at Business Monitor International Saket Vemprala recently appeared on BBC News to comment on BP's profits.
A global centre
The courses are offered through the Costas Grammenos International Centre for Shipping,Trade and Finance.
The MSc courses offered by the Centre reflect the Cass philosophy: advanced, technically challenging programmes that incorporate applied, real-world scenarios.
Students make presentations to lecturers, visitors from the City and other members of the class. This provides you with invaluable practice in using, applying and expressing complex subject matter clearly and concisely to a business audience.
Group work, on the preparation of case studies and a business plan, consolidates the acquired knowledge and also builds the 'soft' skills essential to any future career. From a total of over 1,200 graduates to date, all have taken their place in the international business community.

We review all our courses regularly to keep them up-to-date on issues of both theory and practice. Consequently, there may be some change to the detailed content of the modules, and occasionally to module titles.

and

These Masters programmes all start with two compulsory induction weeks, focused mainly on:

The annual MSc Careers Fair at this time also provides the opportunity to meet over 60 companies who are recruiting across many sectors including finance, energy, insurance, real estate, shipping, strategic management and internal auditing.
- a refresher course of basic financial mathematics, statistics, computing and electronic databases.
