Course Overview

You will be taught by academically qualified and enthusiastic staff with research and consultancy experience and links to the industry. Your high-quality learning experience comprises lectures and discussions supported by group work, presentations, statistical computer labs and case studies. All modules are also supported by Moodle, the virtual learning environment.

There is a commonly shared spine within these programmes which overlaps with existing Masters's level programmes within Cardiff School of Management. Consequently, students will, for some modules, be taught with students in the MBA and MSc Financial Management programmes. The teaching team consider this a strength of the portfolio.
