MSc Investment and Finance
The finance and wealth management industry has become increasingly globalised, complex and
reliant on information technology to create and manage financial asset portfolios, private equity,
and hedge funds. This course provides you with the theoretical and practical knowledge of corporate
and investment finance to prepare you for the practical requirements of your profession and
increase your career opportunities.
This course allows you to explore the different financial markets and the various financial assets
traded in each market. The course will demonstrate the valuation methods of these financial assets
as well as portfolio theory, investment analysis and management. You will be enabled to create and
manage your own investment portfolios as well as effectively manage clients’ portfolios or wealth
funds.
There will also be an international focus on risk management, treasury, investment banking and you
will gain advanced skills in financial modelling, econometrics, and quantitative risk management. The
course will also demonstrate the prevailing theories in modern finance and the techniques to
examine these theories.
