Explore the complexities of finance theory and gain real-world financial trading experience on this unique full-time master’s taught by Loughborough’s experts.
Many roles across finance require a deep understanding of how financial markets operate. On this degree, you will build a solid foundation in the fundamentals of finance before gaining first-hand experience of trading across multiple asset classes and products using industry-standard trading software and live prices.
Develop your financial expertise alongside vital professional skills
Spend your first semester studying with students on our MSc Finance master’s, exploring core topics such as corporate finance and quantitative methods, financial markets and reporting. You will also start a year-long skills-based module that will set you up with the practical tools you will need from the outset of your career, including communication, presentation and teamwork skills.
Derivatives and behavioural finance are the core subjects for semester two – and you will have the chance to study other finance topics including portfolio management, financial statements analysis and valuations, and applied econometrics.
Dive into the world of trading on our experiential module
What gives this programme additional real-world relevance is the immersive summer Global Financial Trading module – the highlight for many of our students.
Delivered by experienced professional traders from ZISHI, this intensive six week work-based module runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, giving you the chance to develop the professional working skills and discipline employers demand.
On completing this module successfully, you will gain a VTCT (Vocational Training Charitable Trust) Level 7 Diploma in Applied Financial Trading qualification. This diploma is recognised by the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment and includes Associate Membership.
Opportunities to enhance your skill set further
During the degree, you will use the LSEG Workspace financial information system, which is integrated into the programme and used for individual and group assessments. If you choose to, you can work towards a certificate of competency in LSEG Workspace, awarded by the London Stock Exchange Group.
A year-long module in professional skills (including Office 365, report writing and making presentations) will help you hit the ground running in your first graduate position.
