    Course Summary

    An MSc in Banking and Finance from Cardiff Metropolitan University prepared students to take their place in an industry that is not only growing rapidly but also becoming much more complex on a global scale. Highly qualified graduates with specific banking and finance industry skills are more in demand than ever before, and with an MSc from Cardiff Met you can respond to that demand.

    You’ll study corporate financial services, financial regulation, investment and wealth management. You’ll also have access to a wide range of elective modules which will allow you to specialise your education and business expertise still further.

    This degree program is very flexible, in that you need not take it as a full MSc. It can be taken as a PgDip (Post-graduate Diploma) without the ‘capstone’ Dissertation. It can even become a PgC (Post-graduate Certificate) if your time or other resources are even more restricted.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
