Financial analytics provides decision-makers with powerful tools to navigate today's increasingly complex business landscape. By integrating internal financial records and operational metrics with external data sources like social media trends, demographic statistics, and big data, financial analytics enables organizations to answer crucial business questions with remarkable efficiency, speed, and precision.
The Master of Science (MSc) in Financial Analysis program was developed to address the rising demand for finance professionals skilled in practical applications for today's data-centric financial operations. Graduates will gain a solid foundation in financial principles, master data analytics techniques including machine learning and visualization tools, learn to implement suitable financial analysis models, and develop a deeper appreciation for ethical and cybersecurity considerations in business decision-making.
Available in both full-time and part-time formats, the program caters to individuals with backgrounds in Mathematics, Economics, Computing, or Technology seeking to enhance their expertise in this innovative field of Financial Analytics. Participants may choose to complete only the theoretical and practical coursework without undertaking the dissertation component.
The minimum entry requirements for the Master of Science (MSc.) in Financial Analytics are:
A Level 8 primary cognate degree with a minimum second-class second-division (2.2) classification from a recognised third level institution. Cognate subjects include business, accountancy, computing, information systems, engineering, general science, mathematics, statistics, data analytics or related discipline.
Graduates of any non-cognate discipline and hold a qualification in a conversion-style programme such as the DBS Higher Diploma in Science in FInTech
For applicants whose first language is not English and who have not previously undertaken a degree taught through English, evidence must be provided of proficiency in English language equivalent to B2+ or above on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). This must be evidenced through a recognised English Language test such as IELTS, Cambridge Certificate, PTE or DBS English Assessment. Test certificates should be dated within the last two years to be considered valid.
Applicants who do not have a Level 8 qualification in a cognate area and who have at least 3 years’ work experience may also be considered through the college’s normal RPL procedures. Relevant professional experience may be taken into account and individuals will be assessed on a case-by-case basis through DBS RPL procedures.
