Description:

The growth in sustainable investing and the growing regulatory framework on sustainable reporting and investing has fuelled the demand for professionals with a fundamental understanding of these areas. Our MSc Sustainable Finance will provide you with an advanced awareness of climate change risks, the importance of good quality data on corporate sustainable activity and the different approaches to sustainable investing.
We will help meet the growing demand for finance professionals with specialisation in sustainable finance by equipping you with advanced skills in sustainable reporting, analysis of corporate sustainable reporting information and ESG investing, so that you have the skill set to meet the challenges and opportunities facing the finance industry, posed by national and global commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Our practically oriented programme is aimed at graduates who have a first degree in accounting, finance or economics, or a degree that includes a range of modules in finance, accounting or economics and want to gain greater awareness and skills in sustainable finance. It is also ideal for working professionals looking to consolidate their knowledge or upskill in their field. Similarly, those interested in additional study at postgraduate level will be prepared to progress on to doctoral programmes.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
  • Students must attain a 2:2 (or overseas equivalent) in an undergraduate degree that has included a range of modules in accounting/finance or quantitative/statistical methods. This need not necessarily be a degree with accounting or finance in the title.
  • We consider all applications on their merits and will look at each individual case before making an offer so students who fall slightly short of the entry criteria should still apply to the School of Management.
  • Non-native English speakers must achieve an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no component less than 5.5. A list of equivalent tests is provided here. If you have studied an undergraduate degree taught through the medium of English, you may be exempt from this requirement – click here for further information.
  • For students who fall short of only the English language requirement, we offer a range of Pre-Master's training programmes that you may take before starting your Master's qualification.
  • * We make every attempt to provide accurate information on prerequisites, programs, and tuition. However, this information is subject to change without notice and we highly recommend that you contact the school to confirm important information before applying.
