Summary
The investment management and financial analysis sectors require industry professionals with advanced technical knowledge, plus practical experience with databases and programming languages. This one-year MSc is designed to equip you with these skills, as well as helping you acquire your Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Level II professional qualification.
You will be part of a select cohort of students with strong finance backgrounds. This means you can study more technical and practice-oriented modules than those offered by many other UK Masters programmes in finance. Our specialist faculty in accounting and finance also combine with expert tutors from leading global financial services training provider Fitch Learning to prepare you to complete CFA Level II.
Our core modules embed training in financial programming languages including R and Matlab and provide hands-on experience with Datastream and Refinitiv EIKON. Thre is also the opportunity to study for the Bloomberg Market Concepts certificate. Meanwhile, our career skills module will help you improve your financial writing, presentation and oral communication skills. You will also receive specialist finance careers support from Opening City Doors.
In the first term, you will prepare for the February CFA Level I exam or, if you already have CFA Level I, you will have the option to take the Financial Risk Manager Level 1 exam. In the summer term, you will prepare for the August CFA Level II exam. Your CFA exam results do not contribute to your Masters degree result but your marks on your CFA training modules do contribute to your final Masters grade.
Since the programme’s launch, graduates have gone on to work for leading City institutions including Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC, China Foreign Exchange Trade System, Vietnam Investments Group and Marcum Bernstein and Pinchuk LLP. Generous scholarships covering CFA exam fees are also available.

Summary
The MA Fine Art is a unique opportunity to study contemporary art practice at postgraduate level while benefiting from the relevance and visibility that comes from working with the North West’s world-class cultural networks.
The course is built around three core elements: studio practice, a research residency and contemporary theory in the arts. You will be supported to re-evaluate and develop your existing practice through individual tutorials and 24/7 access to dedicated studio facilities, with one-to-one tutorials, technical support, visiting artist talks, and weekly seminar and reading group sessions. Your work will be supervised by practicing artists from Lancaster’s fine art team, covering a wide range of disciplines including specialisms in drawing, painting, new media, installation, site-specific, socially-engaged, performance, and art writing.
Based on your area of interest you will spend a specialised period of residency and dialogue with a festival, gallery, archive or site. Suitable placements will be arranged by students in negotiation with tutors building on our wide network of relationships in the region eg The Ruskin Museum, Eden Project North, Liverpool Biennial, Keswick Museum, Department of Biomedical Sciences and the Centre for Mobilities Research. You will develop a body of experimental or preliminary art works in relation to the residency which will inform the final Fine Art Major Project module. The residency is supported through weekly group crits and tutorials in the studio.
The course also includes bespoke opportunities to develop interdisciplinary work, through residencies and elective modules in other departments eg media and communications, sociology, mobilities research, creative writing, biomedicine, physics and others.
