The Post Graduate Diploma in Finance (PGDF) programme acts as the pathway which enables students to pursue the Masters of Science in Finance (MSF) in the US conferred by Henry W. Bloch School of Management, University of Missouri – Kansas City (UMKC). The Post‐Graduate Diploma in Finance (PGDF) is for students and executives seeking specialized training in finance in preparation for Master of Science in Finance at University of Missouri – Kansas City and the financial certifications such as the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), and Certified Financial Planner (CFP), as well as for acquiring career advancement skills in a variety of financial fields. Successful PGDF students can be confident that their studies will lead to a rewarding career, when they go on to complete the MSF (Master of Science in Finance) at UMKC. The growing area of financial services demands more well‐trained finance graduates at the master’s level. The PGDF prepares students for the MSF programme which addresses this need by enhancing the depth and breadth of available financial coursework in the area and preparing graduates to expand their educational experience through an entrepreneurial and globally‐focused curriculum. The Stage Two courses can be completed at UMKC in one year.
