What will you learn?
The 2 Year MSc in Finance has three compulsory core modules evaluated by assignment or examination. These are followed by a Capstone Course to prepare you for the Final Master's Project, the Professional Dissertation.
Once you've completed your core modules you'll research and conduct your final master's project, based on a real-world situation. You'll have up to a year to complete your project which may be submitted from anywhere in the world, using LSBF and GGSB's Moodle internet-based learning platform. Your final professional dissertation can be completed in parallel with a job or internship, allowing additional flexibility for students.
To give yourself a truly competitive advantage you can combine the 2 Year MSc in Finance with a professional qualification such as ACCA, CIMA or CFA® as a Dual programme. You can also give your degree an international perspective by adding the Global Management Certificate.
