University of Edinburgh Business School

The MSc in Finance and Investment runs for one calendar year, starting in mid-September. At the start of the programme, you undertake six or seven core courses, four in Semester 1 and two or three in Semester 2. These are the foundation upon which the whole MSc is built and ensure a common basis of knowledge across the different areas.

In Semester 2, you also begin to tailor your studies towards your career interests, through the selection of one or two option courses.

Finally, your MSc dissertation brings all of the year’s learning together in a piece of work unique to each student.
