The MFin programme is designed for those who wish to develop critical awareness of modern<br />
finance theories through the study of leading edge finance research and the development of<br />
relevant research skills. In particular, the degree aims to cultivate an appreciation and<br />
understanding of issues facing organisations which operate internationally.<br />
In addition to the evaluation of essential theories, principles and concepts of international corporate<br />
finance and international financial management, participants will gain extensive knowledge of current<br />
international investment techniques.<br />
With increased globalisation and ease of access to financial markets, finance professionals are now<br />
required to deliver on an international arena and show their understanding of modern theories and<br />
concepts.<br />
Our highly motivated staff are active researchers in the areas they teach, ensuring an up-to-date and<br />
relevant programme content.<br />
There has never been a better time to study finance, with the demand for high quality finance<br />
graduates on the increase. This programme is aimed at future financial managers and investment<br />
professionals and would also be equally suitable for high-level banking and actuarial positions.<br />
We welcome applications from holders of qualifications in cognate disciplines from institutions<br />
anywhere in the world. These qualifications should normally be the equivalent of an Honours Degree<br />
of a UK university. Two references are also required (preferably one academic and one employment).<br />
