MSc Finance and Regulation

at Maynooth University

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.
