The Brunel Business Finance MSc aims to give graduates a comprehensive knowledge of the theories and practices of business financial operations within the context of modern financial markets.
Students will study the design and processes of corporate financial systems, analyse financial and investment decision-making, and examine how firms interact with financial markets and institutions.
Students will learn about valuation, optimal capital structure, mergers and acquisitions, derivatives, finance microstructure and taxation as well as the econometric and mathematical techniques necessary to undertake empirical investigations and data modelling.
Crucially, students develop their problem-solving skills and ability to critically evaluate and deliver midterm and long-term strategic solutions.
Throughout the course students will have access to a variety of professional databases used in business and finance including Datastream, Bloomberg, Fitch Connect, Osiris and Refinitiv.
Students can choose to study one year full-time, two years full-time with a year's work placement or 16 months full-time with a 6-12 week work placement.
This programme is also accredited by CIMA offering exemptions to some of their professional papers depending on the students module choices.
In a financial marketplace that is becoming more complex, sophisticated and global, the advanced skills and knowledge that students will gain from their Brunel MSc will make them a sought-after job candidate to employers across the sector.
