Key Summary

About : The Master of Science in Banking, Investment and Finance offers a comprehensive understanding of financial markets, investment strategies, and banking operations. You'll learn to critically evaluate financial information and gain practical skills in financial analysis and management. The program prepares you to address complex financial challenges and make informed decisions in a dynamic environment.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various roles such as financial analyst, investment banker, or risk manager. You might find opportunities in financial institutions, corporations, or consulting firms, where you'll apply your expertise to drive financial success and strategic growth.

The innovative design of the programme and its market-led curriculum equips students with relevant, up-to-date, skills and knowledge in the areas of finance and banking. The goal of the curriculum is to give well-qualified students the analytical and conceptual foundations for future high-level financial executive positions in any country in the world. The programme combines the theoretical rigour of financial and banking economics with empirical, real-world aspects of finance, banking and risk management and accounting.

Whilst the programme provides students with a robust grounding in finance and banking, the curriculum also encourages critical thinking and fosters skills of research, analysis, synthesis, creativity; and ethical behaviour.

The teaching method in the programme is a mix of distance learning (teleconferences) and active learning techniques. More precisely, the teaching method is participatory and interactive, so that students can develop their interpersonal skills through active participation in the learning process such as relevant to the content videos presentations followed by critical discussions in forums and through the institution of collective work in-game simulation, which is the standard method for developing team skills. Moreover, recent research papers and current issues will be discussed in the forum.

The plan is achieved through a curriculum of many core courses covering economics, corporate finance, risk management, statistics, mathematics, banking, and accounting as well as a sizeable number of elective courses covering real estate finance, market and credit risk management and portfolio management.
