The MSc in Finance is approved by the Chartered Financial Analysis Institute and provides students with a foundation for a career in the finance industry or a finance-related role more broadly such as in business, government, or a major international organization.

Once students are studying here in Leicester they can apply to complete a six-month MSc International Banking and Finance (MIBF) program in the Department of Economics at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. After completing a 12-month course at Leicester and a six-month course at Lingnan they will receive two MSc degrees - one from each university.
