Course summary

Our MSc Finance and Investment programme focuses on how financial markets and capital markets function and the role of different players, such as investors, firms and institutions, in the markets. Our programme is research-led, up-to-date, and quite rigorous in nature. Our programme will enhance your global career opportunities. Our hands-on approach is data-driven. We have access to a number of databases on various topics. For instance, through real-time access to our Bloomberg Terminals, you will learn to utilise data to analyse financial instruments that will underpin your investment decisions. You will also gain a broad understanding of the sector through modules that cover topics including corporate finance, capital market analysis, and security valuation. This course is recognised by the Chartered Financial Analysts Institute's university recognition programme. This status is granted to select institutions that have incorporated at least 70% of the CFA Programme Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) into their degree programmes. Furthermore, as an affiliated university, we are closely connected to professional practice. You will have the option to take industry-recognised digital qualifications by Microsoft and SAP alongside your course, which will develop your digital skills. An advanced finance and investment degree from Nottingham University Business School will help to bring your potential to the attention of top local as well as global employers.
