Overview

Organisations seek talent who can bring core knowledge and critical thinking from the outset, and the MSc Finance programme is designed to equip ambitious students with the knowledge and decision-making skills to work for leading financial firms around the world.

The MSc Finance programme at UCL curriculum is closely aligned with the CFA® curriculum and covers most of the topics included in CFA® Level 1 and Level 2. Although our programme is not designed, per se, as a specific preparation for the CFA® exam, it focuses on the underlying scientific foundations (and, in place, lack thereof).

Key Facts

The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures and seminars. Assessment is through written examinations, individual/group coursework, and a combination of written report and a viva for the research project.

Each taught module in Terms 1 and 2 is delivered over 10 weeks, with 3 contact hours per week comprising lecture content and interactive components. Optional modules in Term 3 are delivered intensively with 10 x 3-hour sessions over a period of 5 weeks.
