MSc Banking and International Finance

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

Our finance and economics courses have been developed to match the needs of employers and are highly regarded within business and government, whether national or international.

This course begins with a 3-week introductory module covering two professional certificates. Firstly you will protect 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. 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 course will equip you with confidence in using and presenting economic arguments in your professional role.

Once you are studying here in Leicester, you can apply to complete a six-month MSc International Banking and Finance (MIBF) program in the Department of Economics at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. After completing a 12-month course at Leicester and six months at Lingnan, you will receive two MSc degrees - one from each university.
