MSc Finance

Nottingham Trent University

Finance underpins every organisation - shaping strategy, performance and long-term success across global markets. The MSc Finance at Nottingham Business School is designed to give you the knowledge, confidence and analytical skills to make informed financial decisions in complex, real-world contexts. Ideal if you’re new to finance but have strong quantitative ability, the course builds your expertise from the ground up. You’ll develop a solid foundation in core financial theory while gaining hands-on experience in areas such as financial modelling, risk management, and mergers and acquisitions. Alongside technical skills, you’ll learn to analyse data critically, evaluate financial research, and apply theory to unfamiliar business challenges. You’ll graduate able to think like a finance professional - questioning assumptions, interpreting evidence, and making sound judgements that add value across financial, consultancy and corporate roles. In your final semester, you’ll complete an experiential project aligned to your career ambitions. Choose between a consultancy project with an organisation or a business research project, applying your learning in a practical setting and strengthening your professional profile for the next step in your career.
