A generalist programme in a specialised field
Our Masters in Finance is designed as a generalist programme in a specialised field. The core courses provide a solid grounding in the essentials of finance, and our wide range of electives allow you to tailor the degree to your objectives. For the Masters in Finance degree you are required to complete a minimum of ten course units; three core courses, a team project and six elective courses.

The core courses are compulsory, and will be taken by everyone. The elective courses are selected from a varied portfolio, and will reflect your individual choices and interests. You are required to complete ten courses in total - the three core courses, the team project which is equivalent to one core course, and six elective courses (although you have the option of taking up to eight elective courses).

Concentrations
Some participants choose to specialise in a particular area of finance and achieve this through choosing an appropriate cluster of electives, and reinforcing this through a team project that helps them explore their chosen area in even greater depth.

London Business School offers concentrations in:

• Corporate finance
• Investment management
• Quantitative finance

Concentrations are awarded to participants who complete at least three electives in the chosen field. For each concentration there is a mandatory practical module taught by a leading practitioner.
