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


The course is also particularly well-suited for those seeking to obtain their CFA® qualification after graduation. UCL is a CFA®-affiliated university, in other words, an academic institution that embeds a significant portion of the CFA® Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) into their curriculum. This course covers almost all Levels 1 and 2 topics of the CFA®, enabling graduates to fast-track through their qualification upon graduation.


This full-time course is delivered by the UCL School of Management and UCL’s Department of Economics, providing a study of finance underpinned by a blend of theoretical, quantitative and applied components. 


As a Finance MSc student, you’ll acquire a firm grasp of fundamental finance-related concepts and be able to apply your knowledge to practical tasks by, for example, utilising mathematical models to price financial securities. 


You’ll also enhance your analytical and decision-making skills. The skills and knowledge acquired through this course are essential to work in any of the major global financial centres such as New York, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.


You can also take part in optional study trips with the Global Engagement team or summer schools at partner universities to further develop your network as well as alumni networking events around the globe once you have graduated from the course. You will also have opportunities to both attend and participate in the organisation of our Corporate Speaker Series.
