MSc in Financial Management, with Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University
The MSc in Financial Management is for finance professionals who require a wide-ranging understanding of financial techniques and their application, without necessarily needing a high level of mathematical understanding of finance theories. It offers specialist study in the areas of corporate finance, investments and risk management and will provide relevant, practical knowledge of finance that will have direct application in the workplace.
