This course will prepare you for a successful career in finance and/or management in any sector, including financial, non-financial and public sector organisations. Over the course of your studies you’ll explore the role of finance and management in business. You’ll discover the many ways in which the study of finance and the study of management enrich each other, whilst discovering and developing your talents in both areas.

In your finance studies you’ll discover how financial markets work, and explore the various financial services offered by the financial industry. You’ll also cultivate specialist expertise in accounting and finance.

In your management studies you’ll develop the necessary skills for general management roles. You’ll learn how to critically assess the relationship between organisations, their external context and their management processes. You’ll explore how organisations work, in theory and practice, and you’ll learn how to make informed, evidence-based decisions about how and when to apply different management theories.

In addition to your Master’s qualification, you will receive support and access to online training for certification in Thomson Reuters at no extra cost, including Eikon and Datastream.

You will graduate ready to launch a highly successful career in finance and/or management, in the UK and beyond. You could go on to work for financial or non-financial organisations, in any sector, including the public and private sectors.

You might go straight into a junior or senior role - either way, this course is a common path to senior positions such as a head of department role.

Depending on the optional modules you choose, this Master’s can also be great preparation to go on to start your own business, or to return to your family business, ready to take it to new heights or into new markets.

Alternatively you might decide to continue your studies with a PhD.

There is a strong focus on preparing you for your future career throughout the course. You’ll learn theories and practices demanded by the most prestigious employers.
