OVERVIEW

Manage assets, not just account for them

The MSc Finance & Wealth Management is for the next generation of investment managers and financial strategists. Unlike a traditional accounting programme, this course focuses on managing and growing wealth — portfolio construction, risk management, alternative investments, and private banking.

Delivered in Bloomsbury, London, you will study in small cohorts with personalised access to industry mentors with real-world investment experience.

This programme is designed for those who want to work in private banking, hedge funds, asset management, and financial advisory. You will gain access to Birkbeck library resources (300,000+ items) and develop the analytical skills to manage portfolios worth millions.

CFA
Aligned with CFA and CISI syllabi
Graduates are well-prepared for CFA Level 1 and CISI qualifications, with content designed around real-world investment management practice.

"This is not about reporting on numbers — it's about making them grow. Designed for those who want to manage portfolios, not just audit them."
