    Course Summary

    The University of Edinburgh’s International Banking Law and Finance program focuses on understanding the regulatory policies and legal framework that has arisen out of the global financial issues of 2008. Reforms in the last decade have focused on making global financial markets safer, less volatile and more reliable. This is a challenging remit, and one which requires increasingly capable graduates!

    Success in these markets or in the entities which govern or support them requires in-depth knowledge of both national and global financial systems and regulations as well as a sophisticated understanding of how they interact. This course aims to combine that knowledge with an understanding of how international banking is achieved and regulated, as well as how corporate finance is conducted.

    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 course is typically delivered over three terms in a single year.

    This is a highly interdisciplinary program, which seeks to combine understandings of corporate finance, international banking and global finance, both from a business and legal perspective. Mandatory modules include Practice of Corporate Finance and the Law, Practice of International Banking and the Law, and Regulation of International Finance.

    Regulatory Structures

    You’ll conduct a detailed interdisciplinary analysis of the methods the EU, the UK, the US and several Asian countries use to regulate international finance.

    Private Law

    You’ll also come to understand how the infrastructure of private law supports, limits and provides structure for global finance.

    The Role of Lawyers

    You will study the role lawyers play in corporate finance and cross-border banking.

    Learning & Teaching

    The University of Edinburgh relies on an array of different teaching techniques, especially in interdisciplinary courses like this one. Methods include lectures, reading assignments, in-class discussions and exercises, case studies, problem solving tutorials, and group assignments.

    There will also be extensive individual study and a 10,000 word essay delivered in the final term of the program. This will be worth 60 credits, a substantial portion of your overall marks.

    Career Possiblities

    The University of Edinburgh’s International Banking Law and Finance MSc program prepares graduates for careers in the compliance departments of international financial institutions of all sizes, but also in those regulatory bodies who monitor these organisations.  

    As such, many graduates find themselves taking roles with compliance accountancy firms, asset management specialists, central banks or other public institutions, regulatory organisations, law firms and of course in banks. In the end, these are highly transferrable skills which could be of use in a wide range of careers.

    Entry Credit

    Entry Requirements for UK and EU-nationals
