MSci Finance with Innovation
About this course
Finance with innovation is a combination that reflects a genuine insight about the contemporary economy: that the financial skills needed to allocate capital effectively and manage risk rigorously are most powerful when combined with the creative thinking, cross-disciplinary awareness, and entrepreneurial orientation that innovation demands. The innovators of the twenty-first century, as the University of Bristol frames it, will think across arts, science, engineering, humanities, and enterprise, and they will need to be team players with a breadth of skills that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures. At the University of Bristol this four-year, full-time programme develops your financial knowledge alongside a set of skills and qualities that extend well beyond conventional finance education. You will study the core areas of finance, including corporate finance, investment, financial markets, risk management, and quantitative methods, while also engaging with the perspectives and methods of other disciplines in ways that build your capacity for innovation and entrepreneurial thinking. Bristol is one of the UK's leading research universities, and the programme benefits from its research culture and its connections to the business and technology communities. Graduates of finance with innovation are well placed for careers in financial services, investment banking, venture capital, fintech, corporate finance, and consulting, where the combination of financial rigour and innovative thinking is increasingly valued. Others move into entrepreneurship, building new businesses or joining early-stage companies where financial skills and a cross-disciplinary mindset are both directly relevant. The broader formation the degree provides, going beyond the purely technical dimensions of finance, makes graduates distinctive in a competitive market. Further study at Masters level in finance, business administration, or entrepreneurship is available for those who want to develop deeper expertise or prepare for senior roles more quickly.
