Cranfield School of Management - Masters in Finance and Management

Cranfield University Masters in Finance & Management Program Structure

The Cranfield University Masters in Finance and Management is a one-year full-time program and is delivered over the course of four terms. The first term begins in September. The last term ends in the following September with the completion of a thesis.

Curriculum

There are pre-session courses required for those students who do not have a background in finance or management. These courses are Introduction to Accounting, Statistics and Basic Finance. All students are required to attend the Statistics and Finance lectures as part of their orientation week.

The first and second terms cover 10 core courses that cover finance management related topics. The third and fourth terms consist of four elective courses and the writing of a final thesis.

All of the courses offered are taught with an emphasis on real-world challenges. Students will learn through case studies, participative exercises, interactive lectures, group projects and sessions led by industry speakers.

The thesis is a major research project that gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on industry experience and make a real difference in a financial environment.
