MSc Finance

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

You will cover the content for the CFA Institute Investment Foundations Certificate. It is recognized by employers in the finance industry and can be completed optionally externally at a fee. You will also be introduced to the Bloomberg Terminals and allowed to meet the free online exam 'Bloomberg Essentials.' Completing these professional certificates can help you stand out from employers. In addition, this course will enable you to take advantage of studying a six-month MSc in Hong Kong.

Many of our students have gone on to work in central banks, companies, and governments or pursued careers in academia and education.

A postgraduate qualification from the University of Leicester is career-changing. It can be the springboard to promotion with your current employer, the platform from which to launch a new career, or simply an aid to becoming more effective in your current role.

If you are already employed, enhancing your career by studying at the postgraduate level signals to employers that you are committed to developing your skills and knowledge and have learned to a higher level. You will develop an in-depth understanding of the principles of financial investment analysis and the economic principles underlying them. Through our core modules, you will gain advanced knowledge of the critical theories and concepts of finance and investment. You will gain a strong command of analytical techniques, computing, and research methods for problem-solving and develop your critical analysis of economic theories and debates. The degree will equip you with confidence in using and presenting economic arguments in your professional role.

To help you develop the skills that leading employers ask for and let you see how traders work, we have 16 Bloomberg terminals in the ULSB Trading Room at the School of Business.

The MSc in Finance opens career options as an economic or financial analyst in business, government, or a major international organization.
