COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Investment and Wealth Management provides a comprehensive education in finance, focusing on both the theoretical foundations and practical applications necessary for a career in investment, portfolio management, and corporate finance. The program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to analyse financial markets, manage investment portfolios, and make informed decisions under conditions of uncertainty. Core components include corporate finance, which examines funding sources, capital structuring, and strategic investment decisions, and portfolio management, which teaches diversification strategies, risk management, and asset valuation. Behavioural finance is also a central element, helping students understand how psychological factors influence investor and practitioner decision-making. The course further develops quantitative and analytical skills through modules on research methods, fixed income securities, and financial derivatives, enabling students to apply advanced financial models and techniques in real-world scenarios. A substantial dissertation allows students to undertake an independent research project, integrating the theoretical and practical knowledge gained throughout the program. Optional modules offer flexibility to tailor learning to individual career goals. Supporting this academic framework are preparatory and professional development components, ensuring that students are well-equipped with the mathematical skills, research capabilities, and professional insight required to succeed in highly competitive global finance and investment environments.
