The Philosophy of the Programme The MSc in Finance aims to provide a systematic development for an understanding of key principles in finance and practical skills in financial management. At its core it develops the analytical and technical skills associated with financial asset pricing and hedging, portfolio management and corporate finance. This core knowledge and skills allow the progression to a wide range of careers in finance, including analytical and financial management roles in financial institutions, a variety of finance related functions in firms and financial research. The flexibility of the programme structure enables to focus on a particular area of interest. The Finance discipline builds on a complex theoretical framework but also makes extensive use of quantitative tools and empirical techniques which find application in a wide range of decision-making contexts. Knowledge that Finance provides is essential for the understanding of market behaviour and also corporate strategy and corporate performance. Its central focus on the treatment of the trade-off between risk and return 1

2 and how risk is priced in financial markets is relevant to individuals, households, firms and government alike. A distinctive feature of the Masters in Finance is that it builds on a rigorous treatment of modern financial theory and quantitative analysis to enable an understanding of relevant real world financial problems and their efficient solutions. The programme is delivered in a supportive and challenging learning environment that enables students to acquire relevant practical skills in financial management and analysis. Hands-on experience of financial asset trading and analysis is provided using Bloomberg professional trading platform.

4 2. How the Programme is Taught Learning and teaching methods used on the Programme vary according to the subject matter. They include the following: Traditional lectures where the lecturer provides students with a framework for reading and independent study. Some lecture classes may feature activities such as mock auctions, quizzes that involve voting, or other interactive activities. Small group tutorials and seminars where key issues can be explored and discussed in more depth. Students are expected to play a full part, and on some occasions, to lead these discussions. Some tutorials and seminars consist largely of student presentations and many are based on the application of business ideas to case studies drawn from the media and the findings of relevant academic research. Practical, computer- based, lab classes where students acquire the hands-on skills associated with analysing, interpreting and synthesising of relevant economic and business data. Independent study based on directed reading from textbooks, research monographs, academic journals, business case studies, official government publications and the media. Web-based learning using the University s virtual learning environment (KLE). The KLE is used to give students easy access to a wide-range of resources and research tools, and as a platform for online discussions, quizzes and blogs. The dissertation in Finance module offers an opportunity to independently apply the theory and quantitative skills learned, both substantive and methodological, to an in-depth specialized study. The dissertation requires independent thought and action, and encourages the integration of course material with areas of individual expertise and interest. The context, data, analysis and conclusions of the study are to be presented for assessment in a dissertation. Completion of the dissertation is supported by a member of staff. Apart from these formal activities, students are also provided with regular opportunities to talk through particular areas of difficulty, and any individual learning needs they may have, with their module, seminar and tutorial group leaders on a one-to-one basis. These learning and teaching methods enable students to achieve the learning outcomes of the programme in a variety of ways. For example: Lectures and independent study allow students to gain a systematic understanding of key areas of finance and how it may be used to analyse both contemporary problems and potential solutions. Seminars and tutorials provide opportunities for students for structured group discussions of problems in finance where students are expected to clearly 4

5 formulate and exchange their ideas using the learned theory and evidence from modern business practice. Seminars and tutorials also provide opportunities for group presentations which require the group to develop a common solution to a problem or an answer to a question and present their ideas clearly and efficiently to members of staff and other students using an appropriate medium of communication. Seminars, tutorials and web-based activities encourage students to reflect on their own learning and take responsibility for its development by addressing areas of difficulty, perhaps by discussing them with their fellow students or by getting additional help from a member of staff. Undertaking an independent dissertation project with the support of an experienced and active researcher allows students to formulate relevant research questions and also to devise and implement a feasible and methodologically sound strategy for answering them. Teaching Staff The programme team maintains a strong commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching and research. Teaching is informed by research with all teaching staff presenting and publishing academic papers at national and international conferences, in books and in internationally ranked economics, finance and management journals.

Short research papers test students knowledge of different research methodologies. They also enable students to demonstrate their ability to formulate research questions and to answer them using an appropriate strategy. Dissertations test students ability to undertake independent study, framing a problem, critically evaluating relevant literature including alternative methodologies and methods, applying a clear methodology through to conclusion, and presenting the results in a coherent, logical manner. Marks are awarded for summative assessments designed to assess students achievement of learning outcomes. Students are also assessed formatively to enable them to monitor their own progress and to assist staff in identifying and addressing any specific learning needs. Formative assessment occurs throughout the programme and provided with feedback - on both the quality of academic work and the development of subject knowledge and understanding. Feedback, including guidance on how students 12

13 can improve the quality of their work, is provided on all summative assessments and more informally in the course of tutorial and seminar discussions. 5.
