About Master of Science - Finance and Investment Banking (2 Year)
Program Description
Nottingham Trent University's MSc Finance and Investment Banking course will teach students about analysing and valuing investment products, critical analysis of information in derivatives markets and portfolio and investment management. Students will explore the operation of markets, their major participants and the regulatory environments, as well as building a firm understanding of corporate finance, basic accounting and financial analysis.
This course emphasises the analysis and valuation of investment products, and critical analysis of information in derivatives markets and portfolio and investment management. Students will work with financial tools and techniques in an applied setting, using Nottingham Trent University's state-of-the-art Trading Room equipped with the latest Bloomberg software to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in this sector.
In their third semester, students choose an experiential project. With the opportunity to use their skills in a real-world setting, students can choose from completing a consultancy experience project, an in-company experience project, a business research project or a global experience project.
The Finance and Investment Banking course has been created in collaboration with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) institute. The modules are aligned with the institution’s own qualifications, which students can work towards upon completion of their degree. The CFA credential is held by over 150,000 professionals around the world. The charter gives a strong understanding of advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills. This course allows our students a quicker route to the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Professional Qualification and the global professional designation of Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA). The CIMA Professional Qualification is recognised worldwide as the most relevant global finance qualification for a career in business.
