MSc Finance, Investment and Wealth Management

Modern finance is complex, demanding, integrated and dynamic and the creation of wealth via successful investment and management plays a fundamental role in global progress and economic growth.

This course provides you with insight into the strategic financial planning processes required to manage personal finance, credit and investment. Using your analytical skills, you'll learn to make calculated decisions that successfully weigh up the financial benefits with the potential risks covering the main principles of investment, including capital protection, hedge funds, structured products and real estate.

Youll discover different investment processes and asset management techniques used in private banking, and learn the skills to understand high-net-worth clients needs, preferences and ethical considerations offering tailored solutions in line with tax and regulatory requirements.

Classes are designed to simulate a real-life experience of the financial industry. Youll benefit from hands-on training in economics software (with access to Thomson Reuters Eikon Terminals, Bloomberg L.P Terminals, Datastream databases and trading rooms on campus), as well as the chance to collaborate with students from all over the world to gain a global insight.
