Becoming a Certified Financial Analyst charter holder is the aspiration of every finance industry professional. This course covers the CFA syllabus with the support of our friends from Fitch Learning who will guide you through their industry leading support materials and prepare you for the CFA exam. The CFA material includes much of the other elements and content of the MSc, but from a professional rather than a more academic approach. As part of your University assessment you will also write an essay reflecting on professional and academic approaches to finance - this is an example of the questioning approach we seek to develop throughout the programme neither accepting nor rejecting particular views, structures or mind-sets, but making sure these are weighed and compared.
