    institution

    University of East London

    The University of East London began as the West Ham Technical Institute nearly 130 years ago, in 1892. Often called ‘The People’s University’, they offered vocational courses in art, engineering and even science. They were one of the few institutions at the time who taught both women and men.

    Course Summary

    The University of East London’s Finance and Risk MSc degree program is a great way to begin a career in financial management, or to gain the certifications you need to qualify for promotion in your current organisation. You’ll learn econometrics and financial analysis techniques, as well as the finer points of conducting risk management operations in a wide range of companies and industries.

    This degree will net you much more than an MSc degree. Successfully completing the program will also help to qualify you for a range of professional qualifications such as CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), IMC (Investment Management Certificate) or Associate Chartered Banker status from the CBI (Chartered Banker Institute).

    In fact, this course is one of only a very few which the CBI accredits, due to its excellent teaching staff and robust curriculum. This alone will make you much more employable than you would be without Associate Chartered Banker status.

    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.

    Course Outline

    This program is typically delivered over a single year at full time.

    Modules Include:

    • Asset Pricing
    • Bank Credit Management
    • Behavioural Finance
    • Bloomberg Trading Game
    • Corporate Finance
    • Dissertation
    • International Finance

    • Risk Management in Banking

    Throughout these modules, you’ll learn many skills and concepts.

You’ll also gain expertise with Bloomberg trading software and equipment, as well as a range of other industry standard tools.

    Dissertation Requirement

    You’ll finish the program by delivering a dissertation based on a topic you select within the realm of Finance and Risk Management. It will be supervised by a leading researcher in a closely related specialty, and needs to make a real contribution to knowledge or best practice within the industry.

    Learning & Teaching

    The University of East London uses many different teaching techniques to ensure that each student gets the most form their time at the university. In addition to the standard methods common to the subject at every major learning institution – formal lectures, informal seminar sessions, practical skills workshops and technical demonstrations – you’ll also learn to use industry standard databases such as the e-stream, Datastream and Bloomberg services to build and oversee an investment portfolio.

    Career Possiblities

    This degree program prepares you to take an important role in the banking or financial services industries. A Master’s degree on Finance and Risk from UEL will be recognised all over the world, and speaks to employers about your skill, drive and training. Careers in Banking, Accountancy and Management Consulting are the most common, but your degree also qualifies you to apply for roles in Academia, Management Consulting, Accountancy or many other roles in the public or not for profit sectors.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a full MSc degree.

    Students must typically have been awarded at least a 2:2 honours degree in a related subject to apply. The full list of accepted qualifications can be found here.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. A good IELTS score would qualify, for example.
