MSc Finance and Management

The MSc Finance and Management degree is offered as a 12 month, full-time intensive Master's programme designed to meet the needs of non-business graduates wanting to develop a career in finance and management.

This programme is designed to provide students with a good foundation and understanding of the accounting and finance principles. The taught modules will give students a clear understanding of the role of accounting, finance and other general management disciplines to ensure successful operations in a range of business settings, including financial, non-financial and public sector organisations. It is designed for candidates wishing to acquire expertise in accounting and finance, whilst developing the necessary skills for general management roles as well. The course builds on the Business School's existing partnerships with Norwich's Financial District, which is one of the largest in the UK.
