As a result, the range of electives available are subject to change and may, on occasion, be modified, replaced or withdrawn at the university's discretion. Such adjustments are expected to be infrequent.
Global experiences
Global experiences
Global modules aim to deepen your understanding of a specific subject area within a global context. These modules have an application process and require you to pay additional costs. Module themes and destinations may change on an annual basis and are subject to availability.
Corporate Finance for Practitioners
This international elective allows you to experience finance in a different economy. It aims to provide the basics that practitioners will require in a wide range of careers both in the public and private sectors. Traditional lectures will be complemented by guest speakers, company visits and experiential learning activities.
Global Markets and Policy for Practitioners
This module will give students the opportunity to travel and is designed for individuals interested in careers in finance, investment management or policy institutions. It provides tools to understand how global economic developments and policy actions influence financial markets and asset allocation. The module blends conceptual frameworks with practical examples drawn from recent macro-financial events. Through this module, you will develop the ability to interpret global trends and assess their implications for markets.
Applied learning
Applied learning
In the Summer term, you will develop specialist skills and subject knowledge for your future career. You can pursue an Applied Project together with an additional elective and the optional Extended Work Placement. Alternatively, select the traditional Research Project to work on a subject in more depth.
Applied Project
April-August
The Applied Project is meant to provide real insights into professional financial practice, based on current financial theory and current analytical or computational tools. Projects will be marked in light of this general principle.
Each project will be assessed on its own merit. A good project might offer a fresh insight into an interesting financial problem, or it might provide a useful implementation of an existing analytical tool.
All projects must be informed by current academic finance, with the emphasis on practical application rather than rigorous academic discussion. This is a 3,000 word practically focused, unsupervised report.
The Applied Project can be linked to a summer work placement. Students who secure an approved work placement can be transferred to the work-based Applied Project once approval has been granted. The report requirements are the same as for students not undertaking a work placement; however, the project must be linked in some way to your workplace.
Extended Work Placement
With the Extended Work Placement you will access additional work placement opportunities, including longer summer internships in the UK and worldwide. You will gain deeper work experience credentials and boost your marketability with potential future employers. The focus of the Extended Work Placement is on developing your skills in managing real business tasks, drawing on the knowledge and skills achieved in other modules of the programme.
Employers in Europe often view internships as a critical step in the hiring process, and by participating in longer internships, you can demonstrate your commitment and capabilities, making you a more attractive candidate for future roles. You will also graduate with additional credits, which is particularly valued by employers in Europe.
Please note that additional fees apply for the Extended Work Placement.
Research Project
May-August
The Research Project provides an opportunity to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills gained on your Master's at an advanced level. This is an original piece of academic financial research undertaken under the supervision of a member of academic faculty.
In scope, the Research Project is equivalent to two electives and the work will be presented in a report of a maximum of 10,000 words. An electronic copy of your project, assuming it 'passes', will be accessible in the university Library. Future students and other users will be able to read it and it will appear under your name.

Why do I need to complete a Quantitative Experience Statement?
All of our programmes are academically rigorous and include a quantitative component. Therefore, all candidates are expected to have a basic level of mathematics before the start of the programme. The Quantitative Experience Statement provides an opportunity to demonstrate this to the selection committee.
In the Quantitative Experience Statement, you need to list up to five of the most quantitative modules or elements of your studies to date. You should detail:
- the main topics of study (e.g. algebra, probability etc.);
- the level of study (e.g. high school, undergraduate degree, short course etc.).
This will allow the selection committee to have an understanding of your quantitative experience.
Please check the entry requirements for your programme of interest to ensure your background is sufficiently quantitative. For other programmes, candidates are advised to review the programme content and the pre-study modules. You should check what the numerical content of the programme includes before you apply.
Can I test my quantitative ability to see if I am suitable to apply for a Finance programme?
Yes, you can. Our Finance programmes at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School are highly rigorous, and our students are required to have a high level of quantitative skills. If you are considering applying for a programme within our Finance Masters' portfolio, we advise you to take our online maths test to test your quantitative ability and determine if you are suitable to apply for the programme.
Please note, this maths test is most relevant to candidates considering the MSc Finance, MSc Investment & Wealth Management, MSc Financial Technology and MSc Risk Management & Financial Engineering programmes.
How do I submit my qualifications to be verified?
To submit a verification request, you must first create an online account with Qualification Check. You should use the unique link provided to you as part of your offer conditions.
Once you have completed the two-step registration process, you will have access to your online account. Search for the name of the institution at which you obtained your qualification(s).
Then, follow the steps to enter the required information for submission of a verification request. Your details will then be sent to that institution to be authenticated by the appropriate department. Find out more information at .
What happens after I submit a request for my qualifications to be verified?
Qualification Check’s standard procedure is to contact the primary source of the information. This is the institution at which you studied. Qualification Check will regularly contact the relevant department at the institution to confirm the authenticity of your qualifications.
We understand that applications are urgent and Qualification Check makes every effort to accommodate your needs and expedite processes. Some institutions may take longer than others. But rest assured that Qualification Check is working hard to complete your verification. Find out more information at .
How many programmes can I be considered for each year?
You can apply to be considered for one programme each year. If your application is unsuccessful we will take your areas of interest and eligibility into account when considering you for alternative programmes.
When will my referees be asked to provide a reference?
As part of your application, you will be asked to provide the contact details of two referees. Your referees will be contacted by email once you have completed and submitted your application. The email will contain instructions on how they can submit your reference via our application system.
Please ensure that each reference letter that is submitted has been sent from an academic or professional email address. We cannot accept references sent from personal email addresses, such as Gmail, Hotmail, 126, 163, Sina, QQ or Yahoo.
I’ve received an email confirming that my referees have submitted my references, but this isn’t yet confirmed on my account?
Our electronic application service is provided by an external provider. Therefore, there may be a delay before the receipt of your references is confirmed on your student application account.
If you receive confirmation that your references have been received but this still isn’t confirmed on your account a week after receiving the confirmation, please contact the Recruitment & Admissions team.
Will my decision date be affected by a delay in the approval of my references or missing documentation?
If you submit a complete application by the deadline, you will receive an outcome by the corresponding decision deadline. However, we may be unable to guarantee a decision by the deadline if:
- there are delays in receiving your references;
- the documentation required to progress your application is missing.
If the requested information is not received within five working days, we may be unable to guarantee a decision by the round deadline.
If you have received confirmation that your references have been submitted but this is not reflected in your account after a week, please contact the Recruitment & Admissions team.
Will I be invited to interview?
Yes. As part of the selection process, shortlisted candidates for our MSc programmes will be invited to an interview. Interviews are conducted through our video interview platform. You can access it online to record and submit your answers.
The interview process typically takes about 20 minutes and does not require extensive preparation. It aims to supplement your written application and help you convey your suitability for your chosen Master’s by answering questions about your previous experience and future aspirations.
AI guidance:
The purpose of the interview is to get to know more about you. We want to see how you approach problems, your motivations and wider interests.
If we identify malpractice or that answers provided are not genuine, then this may factor negatively into the admissions committee decision.
We have a blog you can read for more advice on how you can use AI responsibly in your application.
When will I receive a decision on my application?
We operate a staged admissions process with several deadlines throughout the year. If you submit your application within an admissions round you can usually expect a decision by the published decision deadline for that round. For more information please see 'Key dates and deadlines' table.
Please keep in mind that during busy times and/or where documents are missing from an application, this may take longer.
Why is my offer subject to checks by Central Admissions?
When an offer is submitted by the Business School, the Central Admissions team needs to make a number of final checks before it can be formally approved. These may include:
- an additional review of an applicant’s academic background;
- ensuring the references we have received are valid.
Until you have received confirmation of the official offer via ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s applicant portal, please do not:
- arrange accommodation;
- book flights;
- decline any other offers you may be holding.
The majority of offers are successfully approved by Central Admissions. You will be able to see full details of your offer conditions once your official offer has been confirmed.
I’ve been put on a waiting list, when will I receive a final decision?
Unfortunately, we are unable to confirm when you will receive a decision on your application. We will be in touch via email as soon as there is an update. You do not need to provide any additional information unless you think it will add significant weight to your application. For example, updated transcripts, relevant internships or English language results.
My application has been unsuccessful; can I have some feedback?
Please email your programme Recruitment & Admissions team if you would like feedback on your application. Please note that whilst limited feedback can be provided, the decision of the academic selectors is final and it will not be possible for your application to be reconsidered.
Can I defer my place to next year?
If you receive an offer you can request to defer it to the following year. Requests will be considered until 23 June 2027.
Requests submitted after 23 June will only be approved in exceptional circumstances.
Please note deferrals are considered on a case-by-case basis and in order to be considered for a deferral you will need to pay the tuition fees deposit.
If you already paid your deposit for the current admissions cycle, this will be carried over to your new offer. However, our tuition fees increase each year and you will be required to make up the difference between the old deposit and the new deposit amount.
Please note that you can only defer once.
Can you advise me on my eligibility?
We are unable to assess your eligibility before you apply. The academic selection committee needs to review a full application before any decision can be made.
Please check the specific entry requirements of the programme you are interested in studying. Please also check our international entry requirements. If you feel you meet our entry requirements you can apply online.
In addition to the guidance on our website, we hold regular information sessions online and on campus throughout the year. Here, we would be happy to discuss your suitability in more detail.
What are the international entry requirements?
We accept a wide range of international qualifications for postgraduate study at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
We've provided general guidance in the country and region index so you can understand how qualifications awarded by public institutions overseas may satisfy our minimum academic admission requirements.
We review our requirements annually. Updates usually happen in September each year before the next academic year of entry.
If your country or region is not listed, please contact the relevant Recruitment & Admissions team for further information.
I don't meet the academic entry requirement but I have some work experience, will I be considered?
Most MSc programmes require at least an Upper Second Class Honours degree (or international equivalent). Work experience can add weight to an application. However, this would not replace the academic requirement, no matter how extensive the experience is. The exceptions to this are:
Please refer to the programme’s entry requirements for more detailed information.
Does the Business School offer pre-sessional English?
The Business School does not offer pre-sessional English courses. We do not accept attendance of a pre-sessional English course as a means of meeting the English language requirement.
I require a visa to study in the UK, when will I receive my CAS?
We will start to issue CAS numbers from April. The details of your CAS will appear on your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ record after you have met all the conditions of your offer. Please note that you will need to upload a scanned copy of the photo page of your passport and current visa (if you have recently completed a degree in the UK), before your CAS can be issued. Please upload these documents to the ‘Passport/visa’ section of your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ account.
Once your CAS is ready, you will receive an email confirming that it has been uploaded onto your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ account. If you log into My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ you will be able to find your CAS number and the details that have been included in your CAS.
Please note that we cannot provide you with a CAS if you have outstanding conditions on your offer. Please ensure that you allow enough time to meet your conditions and apply for a visa before the start date of your programme of study.
What do I need for my visa appointment?
Your CAS number holds information about the programme you will study and if you have paid any fees. You will not need a formal letter from ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ confirming your offer status for your visa appointment.
For more information about what you will need, see the .
If you need any advice about your visa please contact the International Student Support team. Most information can be found on the International Student Support website.
How do I extend my visa to undertake an Extended Work Placement?
If you require a visa to study on the programme, you will be initially granted a 12 month student visa upon entry (with an additional four months post study). If you decided to extend the programme to 16 months, you will be eligible to apply for a student visa extension (please note additional costs apply). This would enable you to apply for the Graduate Worker Visa once your degree is confirmed.
