Weekly study commitment
Full-time students should expect to dedicate approximately 35-40 hours per week across directed learning, independent study, and assessment preparation.

The programme is structured around modules that balance self-paced learning with interactive, tutor-led sessions, so you can build a study routine that works alongside your professional life.

Assessment is grounded in real-world financial practice. You will work through case studies drawn from corporate finance scenarios, investment appraisals, financial analyses, interactive workshops, and individual written submissions. Tools such as Mentimeter and live polling are used within sessions to create an engaging, participatory learning experience. The programme culminates in an Applied Research or Consultancy Project focused on a genuine financial management challenge.

Finance in a global economy
Financial management professionals are essential to every organisation, from multinational corporations to startups, government departments to NGOs. The ability to evaluate investments, manage financial performance, and navigate international corporate finance is a skill set that translates across sectors and geographies.

- Financial analyst – evaluating financial data and advising on business performance and investment decisions
- Investment banker – structuring and executing financial transactions and capital market activities
- Risk manager – identifying, assessing, and mitigating financial risks across an organisation
- Financial consultant – advising organisations on financial strategy, restructuring, and performance improvement

Roehampton’s Careers Support Team is available to online students from day one through to beyond graduation. Services include personalised one-on-one coaching, tailored workshops, employer networking events, and guidance on CV writing, interview preparation, and career planning.
The finance leadership advantage
Organisations increasingly need finance professionals who can do more than manage the numbers; they need leaders who can connect financial performance to strategy, communicate with non-financial stakeholders, and drive business decisions. The MSc Global Financial Management develops exactly this capability.
Why choose this programme
Deep finance specialism
Three dedicated finance modules – Financial Performance Management, Strategic Investment Appraisal, and International Corporate Finance – give you specialist expertise in the areas that matter most to finance professionals. This is not a general business degree with a finance module; it is a finance-led programme built on a strong management foundation.
CMI-accredited
The programme is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute, giving you a professionally recognised management credential alongside your specialist finance qualification. This dual credential is valued by employers who want finance professionals who can also lead teams and drive strategy.
