This programme runs for one academic year, starting in mid-September and ending in August.
A comprehensive Welcome Week provides an introduction to the programme, the School, and the University. Designed to be both informative and fun, it enables you to get acquainted with your classmates.
You will commence your studies with a number of compulsory courses that will help you gain an in-depth grounding in investment, financial markets, corporate finance, financial analysis as well as a thorough understanding of how and when to apply relevant mathematical statistical tools. After the core components, you will have a choice to tailor your degree towards your interests or intended career path in Semester 3. At this point you will select to either write an academic dissertation or select option courses. For those who are looking to go on to study for a PhD we would advise selecting the academic dissertation option.

*We will notify applicants of any changes to the programme structure and courses by 15 June in the year of entry to the course. We cannot guarantee that all option courses will run each year and occasionally there will be last minute amendments after this date due to unforeseen circumstances such as staff illness.
The content of individual courses and the programme for any given degree are under constant academic review in light of current circumstances and may change from time to time, with some programmes and courses being modified, discontinued, or replaced.
Due to high demand we cannot guarantee students a place on the optional course of their preference. Equally, if there is not enough interest in a given year for an option course then it may not be viable for us to run that particular option course. Some combinations of option courses may not be possible due to scheduling constraints.
