Master of Science - Finance and Investment

University of Greenwich

This Finance and Investment course is ideal for those with degrees in accounting, finance, business, economics, or quantitative subjects. Students will study financial markets and products, financial analysis and valuation, investment management, and financial econometrics, before conducting a research project on data analysis of financial markets. They'll also learn from academics with recent industry experience and gain access to experienced investment banking professionals and researchers.

The course helps students develop the skills for successful careers in the finance industry. It covers the techniques used for the analysis and management of investment and risk in the investment industry. It also equips learners with the theoretical and practical toolset to achieve Level 1 of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) qualification after they graduate offering great demands in many areas of business and finance.

In a typical week, learning takes place through a combination of lectures and seminars. Students will be able to discuss and develop their understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller group sessions. Outside of timetabled sessions, they'll need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework, presentations and exams. Greenwich's Stockwell Street library and online resources will support further reading and research. Learners can also join a range of student societies, including the Trading and Investment Banking Society, and take part in student competitions like the UK Trading Challenge.

Graduates can pursue careers in investment and financial analysis such as investment management, corporate finance, financial management and consulting.
