The MSc Law and Finance programme will equip you with the knowledge, skills and practical tools needed to gain a thorough understanding of global economics and finance, and how this area is regulated by law. Such interdisciplinary skills are needed in order to manage the financial crisis and regulate the market effectively.

This course fills a significant gap in the current academic and professional training market in the UK and Europe. It is offered by the Centre for Commercial Law Studies and the School of Economics and Finance at Queen Mary University of London.

You will be taught by some of the best academics and industry experts in their fields, many of whom advise and work with leading institutions including the World Bank, national and international governments, the European Central bank, the IMF, the Bank of England, the European Union, the WTO, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Bloomberg, leading UK and International Banks, the FSA and leading International law and accountancy firms.

This programme will:

• Enhance your career options by allowing you to specialise in the highly sought after interdisciplinary areas of law, economics and finance.
• Allow you to tailor the programme to suit your interests by choosing one of four pathways: General; Banking and financial services; Law and financial regulation; or, Law and corporate finance.
• Provide you with the theory, knowledge, practical skills and latest developments required to work in both emerging and established economies in legal, banking, financial, governmental or research institutions.
• Provide professional module exemptions for the CBI Chartered Banker Diploma.
