With an ever growing number of finance programmes offered by schools worldwide, to be ranked by the FT as one of only 45 top programmes places us within the global elite of finance programmes.
Edinburgh’s programme featured in the pre-experience ranking which contains programmes designed for new graduates with little or no previous work experience. In common with other rankings produced by the FT, the ranking is derived from data collected via two surveys one completed by the Business School and another by alumni of the programme who graduated three years ago.
Edinburgh ranked highly for giving students an international experience during the Masters programme.
Edinburgh’s Masters in Finance and Investment is part of a family of finance masters including the Masters in Accounting and Finance, a Masters in Financial Management and a Masters in Banking and Risk. These are all 12-month full-time programmes, designed for new or recent graduates. With its strong investment component the Masters in Finance equips students with the knowledge and skills required for a wide range of finance related professions.
Pre-experience masters degrees are fast becoming the must-have qualification for ambitious young managers. Edinburgh’s Masters programmes are highly international with participants, across our portfolio, from over 72 different countries.
With our recently confirmed triple accreditation placing us amongst the top 1% of Business Schools worldwide, the highly ranked research expertise of our faculty, provenance of the University of Edinburgh and indeed the experience of living in Edinburgh our finance programmes are regularly oversubscribed attracting an extremely ambitious student cohort.
