COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Management and Finance at Bangor University is designed to equip students with comprehensive skills in both business management and finance, combining theoretical understanding with practical application. Core modules provide in-depth knowledge across key areas, including research methods, organisational behaviour, strategic management, and international financial markets. Students develop expertise in evaluating financial instruments, portfolio theory, and the financial management of multinational companies within complex macroeconomic, fiscal, and political contexts. Modules on new venture creation and financial econometrics enhance analytical, entrepreneurial, and quantitative skills, allowing students to model financial and business data effectively using econometric software. Optional modules provide opportunities for specialization, such as Islamic finance, knowledge management, contemporary management theory, international business strategy, financial analysis, and investment strategy and portfolio management. Through these modules, students gain practical and strategic insights into developing investment strategies for bonds, equities, and derivatives, assessing risk-return outcomes, and evaluating portfolio performance. The program integrates conceptual understanding, critical analysis, and practical skills to prepare graduates for roles in corporate finance, investment management, international business, and strategic leadership. By combining advanced financial knowledge with strategic management and organisational expertise, the MSc enables students to make informed decisions, solve complex business problems, and succeed in dynamic, global professional environments.
