Investment Analysis

University of Stirling

Overview

The Investment Analysis MSc course from University of Stirling has a world-class reputation and is the UK’s longest-established postgraduate course in the field. It's one of very few Masters courses in the UK to participate in the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute University Affiliation Program (UAP).

 This acknowledges that the course covers at least 70% of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge and places emphasis on the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. The course positions students well to obtain the Chartered Financial Analyst designation, which has become the most respected and recognised investment credential in the world.
