- Corporate finance: how to investigate and critique investment strategies, corporate governance, and capital structures.
- Behavioural finance: explore how psychological factors and cognitive biases influence investor behaviour, market anomalies and financial decision-making.
- Asset pricing and portfolio theory: learn to evaluate investment risks, determine the fair value of financial assets, and construct optimal investment portfolios.
Towards the end of the course, you'll complete an independent research dissertation that gives you the opportunity to tackle a complex, real-world financial challenge of your choice. You’ll be supported by one of our academics with relevant expertise to help guide you through the process.
Upon graduation, you will have developed an advanced portfolio of technical and analytical skills that will support you in securing a career in industry or further research.
