About

This Financial Services Masters programme at the University of Malta aims to provide students and practitioners with the opportunity to thoroughly and comprehensively examine the evolving legal framework which greatly influences the way financial services are carried out and how these services are regulated in Malta and overseas.

Visit the Visit programme website for more information

Overview

While it is offered by the Faculty of Laws, The Financial Services programme at the University of Malta benefits from the close collaboration and academic input of the Faculty of Economics, Management and Accountancy and is, as a result, better placed to deliver a mixed skill programme not exclusively restricted to law subjects. 

While the focus is on the provisions, mechanisms and remedies that arise from Maltese law, a broader and comparative approach is included wherever possible. 

Special focus lies on the impact of European Union law particularly through the various directives and regulations that have been adopted during the past twenty years which affect almost every area of financial services, such as the BRRD, CRR, CRD and MIFID.

With this knowledge, you will be well equipped to occupy a number of senior posts in legal, corporate, advisory and regulatory services both in the private and public sectors including financial institutions, banks, stock-broking firms, regulatory agencies, journalism, international organisations, diplomatic service, and the academic field.
