Course Overview

This degree program provides the opportunity to follow the prestigious CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) specialist pathway and acquire the skills to complete the CFA Level 1 examination (for both September-intake and January-intake students). Banking and financial services represent a highly competitive and rapidly changing sector in every modern economy. Changes in customer requirements, technology, competitive conditions, and regulation create the need for managers, traders, and analysts to make rapid and often far-reaching decisions about their short-term operations and long-term strategies. The Banking and Finance MSc course at Bangor offers you a unique opportunity to study advanced theory and practice relating to financial services, and to develop an appreciation of the causes and significance of current developments in this vitally important and dynamic sector of the economy.

General Eligibility
