Program Overview

Financial regulation is a growing part of the ever-evolving finance industry, requiring specialised knowledge and skills. Our MSc Finance and Regulation draws on expertise from the disciplines of Finance and Law to provide students with a relevant and stimulating learning experience. It is designed to equip graduates with a knowledge of financial markets and associated laws as well as statistical techniques that will make them attractive to employers and perfectly placed to build a bridge between financial markets and the legal system. The application of finance theory to real world problems is a consistent theme running through our Finance modules, with extensive use of real-world data helping to integrate theory with real world practice. On the regulation side, our Law modules focus on the regulatory framework in place within the European Union to regulate the capital markets sector and the unique contractual and governance frameworks in place for Islamic finance transactions.

Course Content
In common with the world of finance, our MSc Finance and Regulation is an intensive and challenging programme. We begin with a preparatory Autumn School to integrate students from different backgrounds and ensure that all students have the required levels of Finance, Maths and statistics to succeed in the programme. Students will also be introduced to computer skills essential to modern finance. We then have two semesters of taught modules, during which Finance modules are taught over four days per semester and Law modules have one 2-hour session per week. Our new Summer School, featuring a taught module in Data Management and Financial Analytics is designed to provide students with practical experience in software used across the industry, while a capstone project completes the programme.
