MSc FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT
MSC FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Discover how finance and management drive business by studying these two highly complementary disciplines together.
This flexible course is ideal if you are interested in finance and management and want to study both while keeping your options open. You’ll be able to tailor your studies towards one discipline or the other, or balance your studies equally. Whichever path you choose, you’ll discover that these two disciplines overlap and enrich each other in many exciting and satisfying ways.
You could go on to work in finance or management. Whichever career path you choose, you’ll find that the multidisciplinary expertise and general business skills gained on this course will give you an edge.
You don’t need to have studied finance, management or business before. You just need to enjoy working with numbers and people, and be passionate about business. Equally, this course is a great choice if you have studied a different business specialism before and want to add finance and management to your skillset.
About
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 that 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 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.
You’ll also benefit from our links with Norwich’s Financial District, which is one of the largest in the UK.
In addition to your Master’s qualification, we offer support and access to online training for certification in Thomson Reuters Eikon and Datastream. You’ll be able to apply for scholarship to the CISI Introduction to Securities & Investment L3 exam every year. You will also be offered an academic rate to study for CII qualifications such as the CII R02 Investment Principles and Risk exam based upon your interest.
