On successful completion, Finance (Banking) MSc students will receive Associate Chartered Banker status with the Chartered Banker Institute. This is the first step on the ladder for professional recognition as Chartered Banker, the gold standard for professionals working in the banking sector.

Students will study a common first semester providing a solid introduction to financial markets, institutions and intermediaries, and the function of banks in relation to these. This allows them to make a more informed choice about a specialist pathway (in Banking or International Finance) for the second semester, where students delve more into retail and investment banking, choosing options according to personal interests, for example, in banking technology, compliance or behavioural finance.
