Finance and Risk MSc

You will examine and study issues in finance, financial markets, and risk, which have become increasingly important in recent years. Gain an understanding in global risk analysis, research methodology, and econometrics for finance.

You will study the operation of modern business organisations and the role of financial institutions and capital markets in the global economy. You'll learn about statistical techniques that are employed in practice to investigate a firm’s value and asset price. You'll also explore contemporary debates in finance and financial markets.

Successful completion of this degree means that you will be exempt from ACCA papers:
