Overview

University of Cape Town's Master in Applied Finance consists of three coursework modules. Instead of completing a minor dissertation, students will be required to complete a series of minor research reports on special topics in finance. Lectures are face-to-face, typically in the evenings and Saturday mornings, and thus requires a presence in Cape Town.

Overview

An Honours degree or equivalent, ideally in finance or a related discipline. Two years of relevant work experience and candidates may be required to present themselves for an interview.

The degree is offered over two years, but many students take until their third year to finish. Any registration requires faculty approval. It is possible to complete the degree in one year, full-time, subject to the Programme Convener’s permission.
