The MSc Global Financial Management programme has been developed in response to the considerable world wide demand from students wishing to follow a career in financial management. Since the launch in 2000 graduates have demonstrated success in a variety of careers, confirming the programmes potential to enhance employability in an ever increasing competitive market. To ensure that the programme is up to date an extensive review has just taken place, part of which was to benchmark the content against syllabuses of the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA).

Opportunities for careers in financial management are considerable and varied. The programme is designed to build upon existing knowledge of financial management. The programme therefore seeks to recruit graduates who already hold a first degree in finance, financial management or a degree in business where there is considerable financial management content. Students with professional qualifications in accounting and finance will also be considered. Personal commitment to both subject and personal development is very important if students are to gain maximum benefit from the programme.
Newcastle Business School has chosen a focus on investment, performance management and risk management. There are number of reasons for this, firstly NBS’s learning and teaching philosophy is concerned with the application of theory, thereby ensuring programmes are more relevant to today’s business, secondly the content has been benchmarked against professional standards, again ensuring relevance and thirdly, former graduates have enjoyed considerable career success, applying knowledge and expertise from the programme.
The programme structure is shown below:
Financial management themes contained within the modules are:
International corporate finance and money markets
Risk management and the use of financial instruments
Mergers and acquisitions, private equity investment, management buy-outs
Strategic investment decisions and risk in multinationals
Performance measurement and management – individual companies and portfolios
Ethical behaviour and corporate governance/

Working in a large, modern, international organisation, a medium sized company or even a small start-up firm requires a range of business capabilities. The most valuable employees are those who have not only a sound knowledge and understanding of the various parts of a business but those who are quick learners and team players with leadership potential. The MSc Business with Management programme will give students both the general business knowledge and understanding as well as the personal skills needed for a wide variety of roles.

The programme has been developed for recent graduates in nonbusiness disciplines who wanted to add a business dimension to their undergraduate specialism. This programme has been very popular and has recently been extended by the addition of several pathways. Students can now choose between a general pathway with a wide variety of optional modules and a specialist pathway in which around half of the programme is concentrated on one functional area. This is very attractive to students who are interested in a particular area of business (e.g. marketing) but still want a more general introduction to business than is available in a specialist Masters programme. Students choosing one of the pathways have the opportunity to carry out independent research in their preferred specialist area. To be successful on this programme, you will need enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to not only work hard but learn new ways of thinking. We also expect you to show initiative and be able to work independently.

The programme is designed around a set of modules that are common to all pathways. These modules cover general business functions, strategic management and organisational analysis. These modules also guide you towards the achievement of the generic postgraduate goals of strategic awareness, developing leadership potential and understanding the theory and practice of international business. In the second semester you will be given the opportunity to specialise in specific areas of business by choosing one of the pathways. If you prefer to maintain as wide a choice of subject areas as possible, you can choose the Business with Management pathway. In the remainder of the programme you will complete your research and writing up of your dissertation. Every student has a personal research supervisor and will be required to submit an assessed research proposal prior to embarking on the dissertation itself.
