Degree awarded: MSc

Duration: 12 months full-time.

Entry requirements:

We normally look for a UK bachelor degree with upper second class honours or the overseas equivalent, with excellent results in finance subjects (accounting is not considered to be finance). 

When assessing your academic record, we take into account your grade average, position in class, references and the standing of the institution where you studied your qualification.  We particularly welcome applications from institutions of high ranking and repute.

You need to have studied or be studying a degree in finance, economics or maths.  You must have taken a significant number of finance and quantitative courses during your degree (accounting is not considered to be finance). You must be taking a major or specialisation in finance in your final year and need to achieve top-level results in final year finance subjects.  You must also demonstrate a solid background in quantitative skills, econometrics or maths. 

Applicants studying degrees in business administration, business management or commerce, can be considered but must be able to demonstrate a very strong background in finance throughout their degree and a final year major or specialisation in finance (as outlined above). Due to competition for places, we give preference to applicants with a bachelor degree in finance or economics.
