University of Nottingham

MA in Finance and Investment
Awarded by The University of Nottingham

The programme is designed for graduates who wish to further develop their knowledge and skills in the demanding areas of corporate finance and investment management. It provides an opportunity for individuals looking to develop a career as corporate financial managers, fund managers, securities analysts and investments advisors. This programme has three core elements based around the three main classes of capital investment activity; equity markets, fixed interest markets and derivative markets. The capital market analysis module examines the institutional and decision making framework of equity investment from the perspective of the fund manager and the corporate financial manager. A similar perspective is adopted in the parallel modules dealing with fixed interest and derivative markets. These modules will introduce all the main techniques used by the modern investment professional. With these practical applications in mind, theoretical models including the use of Datastream and associated software, mathematical techniques and spreadsheet models, are integrated as appropriate.

A wide range of options related to the core subjects are available, facilitating specialization in specific areas such as International finance, Economics of International Firms, or in other areas of the global economy, such as South East Asia or Eastern Europe. All of these modules build on the common core subjects from the wide MA/MSc Programmes, providing the participants with the grounding in the research skills required to undertake a specialist dissertation in a chosen area of finance and investment.
