Centre for Financial & Management Studies (CeFiMS) - University of London

Postgraduate

MSc Financial Management

Entrance Requirement

For entry to the MSc in Financial Management you need a recognised first degree in a quantitative subject such as Economics or in a related subject that includes some study of Economics. You should have obtained high grades in your first degree.  

If you do not meet this criteria or you feel your understanding of economics needs improving, you can upgrade your qualifications with the Postgraduate Diploma in Economic Principles. Students who complete this Postgraduate Diploma with satisfactory grades are then eligible to enter the MSc  

Occasional students

Applicants may hold the qualifications specified above for entry to the Postgraduate Diploma or to the MSc degree. Alternatively, if they do not hold such qualifications, the University may still consider the application but will require evidence of the student’s ability to undertake an advanced course of study. The University may therefore recommend that the applicant first take two Individual Professional Courses from those available. If a student successfully completes the Individual Professional Courses, their performance will be assessed and they may be invited to continue with the remaining units of the MSc programme.

All applicants

To study on any of the distance learning CeFiMS postgraduate programme, you must be a graduate with a high level of proficiency in English - equivalent to IELTS level 7.0 (the British Council's International English Language Testing Service) or an approximate TOEFL score of 640. 

Credit exemptions

Credit exemptions are not granted on any of the CeFiMS distance learning programmes. The only exception is made for those who have obtained high grades on one or more of the Individual Professional Courses (IPCs) within the last five years and who then wish to count the academic credit gained towards an MSc or Diploma programme.
