MSc Management and Finance

Our MSc Management and Finance course starts with exploring the global finance companies structure, markets, regulatory functions and their changing roles within society. You will also focus on the analysis of financial statements to improve management decision-making, as well as the role of ethics and sustainability.

You'll consider key aspects of the financial management of corporations in a multinational environment. This will help you develop a detailed understanding of key finance theories, as well as strong critical analysis skills, to help improve your management decision making by applying and evaluating a range of analytical techniques.

In your third semester, you will choose an experiential project. With the opportunity to use your skills in a real-world setting, you can choose from completing a consultancy experience project, an internship experience project or a business research project.
