Course Description:

'' The global integration of financial markets has made it increasingly important for multinational companies, banks, fund managers, securities firms and corporate financial advisors to have a clear understanding of the theory and practice of international banking and finance.

Familiarity with the latest innovative techniques in international lending and borrowing, asset and liability management and risk appraisal is also an essential requirement for all those involved in the global money and capital markets. With these needs in mind, this MSc programme aims to develop students’ existing skills by advanced study in the areas of finance and banking, with particular emphasis on the international dimension. The programme provides a coherent theoretical framework for the various subject areas, but the emphasis throughout is on the practical application of financial techniques in a real world setting.

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has recognised this MSc programme as a Specialist Masters Programme.

Programme Structure
Full-time study on our MSc programmes follows a schedule of half-day teaching blocks. A single unit, for example, will be taught over six half-days, usually the same half-day each week e.g. six consecutive Monday mornings and half units are taught over three half-days. Unit teaching blocks will be scheduled on different half-days so that students will study several units during the same period .

Teaching takes place during the autumn, spring and summer terms with a few units scheduled for evenings and the Easter vacation. These will usually be the optional units but this is not guaranteed. Formal examinations take place in January and May/June each year at the end of each semester. If you pass the unit assessments to a satisfactory standard you are permitted to continue work until September leading to the submission of an MSc dissertation.

How will you learn?
Your understanding of the subjects covered and your ability to use the knowledge and skills gained will be enhanced through a variety of methods and strategies. Some of the key learning approaches that you will experience as a student in the School will include:

Group work
Group work is recognised as vital in your development when looking forward to, or continuing in, a management role. You will be supported in learning how to form and maintain group cohesiveness to achieve clearly defined outcomes, such as a business report, a group presentation or a combination of both.

Case-studies
You will be presented with many different business case-studies that reflect the reality of decision-making and problem-solving activities in today’s business environment. The case studies are selected to reflect the specific needs of your programme or unit of study.

Learning alongside other students
Throughout your time with us you will be working alongside fellow students from a wide range of cultural and geographical backgrounds. This is a powerful resource and we are particularly keen to encourage you to set up learning networks with other students that may extend beyond the time of your study at Southampton.

To help with this style of networking you will be expected to learn to communicate with each other as well as your teachers in a variety of contexts. For example, during a large group lecture you may be given the opportunity to discuss a specific problem or complete a task in small groups, often with people who are sitting alongside you. The possible answers would be shared by the large group as guided by your teacher.

The example noted above indicates that you are expected to be an ’active’ learner through taking part in small group discussions and offering your views on many occasions.
