Master of Science Finance and Investment Management

The MSc Finance and Investment Management syllabus draws extensively from the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) programme curriculum, and students will be supported to sit the CFA® Level I examination alongside their MSc programme studies. The CFA qualification is a globally recognized, postgraduate designation that provides a strong foundation of investment analysis and portfolio management skills along with the practical knowledge required in the modern finance and investment industry.

The programme will provide students with a solid understanding of the interaction of finance, financial markets and securities and investment analysis. On graduation, students will have a good understanding of contemporary financial principles and know how these apply to financial intermediation, savings and investment.

Successful candidates will therefore graduate with an MSc from a Russell Group institution and a pass at Level I of the CFA qualification. Liverpool's approach of embedding much of this globally recognized qualification into the MSc programme will strengthen students' employability throughout the financial services sector.
