Many roles across finance require a deep understanding of how financial markets operate. On this degree, you will build a solid foundation in the fundamentals of the subject including core finance theory, valuation and sustainable finance. You will gain first-hand experience of trading across multiple asset classes and products using industry-standard trading software (such as the London Stock Exchange Group Workspace) and live prices.

This programme makes practical, real-world applicable knowledge an integral part of your learning experience. As part of the programme, you will engage in an immersive Global Financial Trading module which takes place during the summer semester. You’ll have the chance to develop in-demand professional skills and gain a VTCT (Vocational Training Charitable Trust) Level 7 Diploma in Applied Financial Trading.

The MSc in Finance and Global Trading is ideal if you have an unrelated undergraduate degree and are looking to transition into a finance career with an emphasis on markets. If you do have a finance background, this programme is an excellent way to deepen your finance skills, gain a well-recognised postgraduate qualification, and develop your trading skills.
