The MSc Banking and Finance is a full-time, year-long programme consisting of two parts. Part 1: Is taught from September to May, with examinations in January and May. Modules are taught in blocks, with 4 in Semester 1 (September – December), and 4 in Semester 2 (January – April). Continuous assessment is an integral part of all of our taught modules. The final module mark will be based on both coursework and examinations. Part 2: Consists of EITHER completing a supervised dissertation of around 12,000 words, during the summer months (June to September) to be submitted in September; OR attending the Financial Research Seminar Series, which is a taught series on research topics that are specific to our programmes of study. This is delivered in June, students then complete two assignments over the summer and take an exam in September.
