You will study one foundation module in September that introduces the tools of modern finance and enhances your career development skills.

You’ll study six core modules and an online module in Ethics and Professional Standards in Finance. 

The core modules are taught through lectures, interspersed with quantitative case studies allowing students to work on real-world problems faced by financial firms, using extensive data sets and computer programs.

Electives allow you to personalise your programme to match your own interests. You will take either three (if you do the Research Project) or four (if you do the Applied Project) from the following elective modules. All students will be required to take at least one key elective.

In the spring and summer terms, you will choose between undertaking two types of projects, in order to develop specialist skills and subject knowledge to benefit your future career. 

You can either pursue an Applied Project together with an additional elective, or a traditional Research Project. If you have secured a work placement, you will be able to link your project to the area of finance of the employer organisation.
