GGSB MSc in Finance Programme

London School of Business & Finance (LSBF) has a history of designing innovative and relevant programmes which answer the questions senior executives face worldwide. This pioneering nature was the key to forging our dynamic academic partnership with Grenoble Graduate School of Business (GGSB) - one of Europe’s most prestigious business schools, triple accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB and ranked by the Financial Times, the Economist and the Business Week.

The GGSB MSc in Finance is a 2-year course that covers the fundamentals of finance, advanced topics in financial management, corporate finance and financial markets. You will build a strong foundation of knowledge on the theories, principles and practice of finance and learn the tools required by senior executives to make sound financial decisions in an international environment.

The GGSB MSc in Finance can also be excellent preparation for the Chartered Financial Analysts® (CFA®) exams. Their syllabus covers a significant part of the CFA® Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) and covers related fields such as management control systems, business law, corporate governance, and private equity investment.

The GGSB MSc in Finance will prepare you for a career in banking, financial services or corporate finance positions within international companies at a senior decision-making level. This unique programme has been specially designed for those who relish the challenge of working at the highest level in international corporations.

Our typical candidates are resourceful, creative team-players as well as mathematically astute finance minded graduates who are seeking greater insight and confidence to hold positions in corporate finance with a strategic focus. They are looking particularly for an intellectually challenging MSc in Finance that focuses on both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills at a very high level.
