About 30 per cent of all jobs in the UK’s financial services sector are for marketing and client-facing roles. The MSc in Marketing and Financial Services combines Exeter’s long tradition of excellent research-based finance teaching with a range of innovative marketing modules. Designed for UK and international students alike, this is a cutting-edge programme not available at other British universities.
Over nine months, you will acquire the technical knowledge to understand how financial services products work, together with the marketing acumen necessary to compete successfully in this highly competitive sector. The programme is especially appropriate for marketing graduates wanting to develop a career in the marketing and promotion of financial services, as well as business/accounting/finance graduates wishing to specialise in marketing within financial services.
We offer you the opportunity to obtain a full Masters degree from a university with a leading reputation in finance as well as the Certificate for Financial Advisers (CeFA®) awarded by the ifs School of Finance. The CeFA® qualification meets the requirements of the Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) for the provision of financial advice to private clients There are two routes to this MSc programme. One route is to elect a non-CeFA® pathway so that you graduate with the MSc in Marketing and Financial Services. The other route is to elect a CeFA® pathway so that you graduate with the MSc in Marketing and Financial Services and the CeFA® qualification. This will require you to take a course on UK financial regulation that forms part of the CeFA® assessment.
Non-assessed intensive computing training covering Thomson Reuters Datastream and other financial databases and software systems, is incorporated into relevant modules.
