Summary
Develop the technical skills to examine and uncover patterns in data and address critical business challenges impacting the finance industry today.
The MSc Financial Analytics at Swansea University is a specialised, technical-driven and practically oriented programme. It is designed for those wanting to accelerate into a dynamic career in the finance and investments industry, in roles such as Data Specialist, Consultant or Portfolio Manager, as well for as those wanting to undertake further research in finance through a PhD. Though applicants should have an undergraduate degree or equivalent in a quantitative field, no computer science or programming is required.
You will explore key topics, including big data in finance, programming for financial applications, econometrics, financial risk forecasting and advanced data analytics. You will also develop the skills to utilise big data and data analytics, programming languages (e.g. Python, R), and visualisation tools so you can apply appropriate financial analytics models and effectively inform investment decisions.

Entry requirements | Students must attain a 2:2 (or overseas equivalent) in an undergraduate degree that has included a range of modules in accounting/finance or quantitative/statistical methods. This need not necessarily be a degree with accounting or finance in the title. We would also be willing to consider those with other backgrounds and work experience in the sector. We consider all applications on their merits and will look at each individual case before making an offer so students who fall slightly short of the entry criteria should still apply to the School of Management. Non-native English speakers must achieve an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no component less than 5.5. |
