About the course

Pursue a career in international banking and finance. Learn how to apply financial theories to the real world, with the help of academic and industry experts.

Driven by the financial crisis, the global banking and financial industry has changed significantly over the last ten years. This has shaped the sector’s requirements.

A greater demand now exists for professionals who are more risk-aware and able to adapt to an increasing role of technology in the sector as well as evolving consumer needs, and heightened social, economic and political risks. The ability to provide governments, firms and consumers with the financial products they need while keeping the system in balance is of paramount importance.

Entry Requirements

UK honours degree 2:2 (or equivalent) in a relevant numerate subject area, such as accountancy, economics, finance, maths, physics, statistics or technical sciences. Relevant work experience can be taken into account, along with relevant professional qualifications.

Academic IELTS score of 6.0 (or equivalent) with no element below 5.5.
