Course summary

The University of Buckingham is:

  • Home of the two-year degree, the University of Buckingham, based in the South East of England, is ranked 6th for Student Satisfaction in the UK (National Student Survey, 2020).
  • We are proudly independent and not-for-profit, and offer courses in Allied Health, Business, Computing, Education, Humanities, Law, Medicine, Psychology and Security and Intelligence. We are one of the few universities in the UK that offer September and January start dates for almost all of our courses.
  • Based in Buckingham on a riverside campus, we are only 20 minutes’ from Milton Keynes central station and a short drive from Bicester, Aylesbury, Banbury and Northampton. There is free parking on-site and we are within easy reach of London and Oxford.
  • Our award-winning small class tutorials ensure every student is known by name and supported throughout their studies, including by dedicated personal tutors.
  • As pioneers of the two-year degree, we offer a condensed version of the traditional three-year degree, meaning you can gain a full honours degree and complete your studies a whole year earlier. Alternatively, you can complete both your undergraduate and master’s degree with us in just three years: saving you time and money.
The MSc programme in Money, Banking and Central Banking – and the new pathway to Money, Banking and Wealth Management – is designed to offer specialised teaching to UK and overseas students. The subject is particularly relevant given all the changes introduced in banking and financial markets during the last global financial crisis as well as the changes made by major central banks in the running of their monetary policies since then. The programme pays particular attention to the changes introduced by major central banks since March 2020, with the outbreak of Covid-19 crisis, as well as to the launch of new digital currencies by central banks and the private sector. This all emphasises again the importance of high quality monetary and banking analysis so we can assess those policies compatible with stable economic growth and financial stability over the long term. Expert knowledge of monetary economics and monetary policy, risk management and financial institutions is going to be of crucial importance and this programme aims to produce graduates with this specialised knowledge and the skills required for a career in central banking and finance, in particular in investment banking, wealth management as well as monetary analysis suitable to pursue a career in research departments and specialised media.
