Combining advanced study and research, this programme is designed for students who wish to extend their knowledge of finance or financial engineering. The programme provides research-led teaching and is particularly suitable for those intending to continue to a PhD. The degree also provides a strong academic background for those aiming for a career in finance. The normal coursework component for the MPhil in Finance consists of nine modules covering research methodology and foundation courses.

By the end of the course students should have: acquired or consolidated statistical, mathematical and other skills appropriate for research in their chosen area; demonstrated independent judgement, based on their own research and presented their own ideas in a public forum and learned to contribute constructively within an international environment.
