Trinity College Dublin - Finance

Course Overview/Contact:

If you are looking for a rigorous and comprehensive introduction to the tools and skills that you need to thrive in modern financial services, then this course is for you. You will graduate with a skill set that spans several technical and analytical areas and will help you maximise your career potential. We have developed this course, and we refine it every year, in collaboration with real individuals and firms operating in the quickly changing finance environment. They know what the industry needs, and we know how to provide it. Trinity's MSc Finance is a programme partner of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute and the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association who have recognised the academic rigour and industry-relevant skills taught to students.  It is the only course worldwide with this unique triple accreditation.

The programme is assessed based on a combination of assigned coursework, written examination, a group project and a capstone assignment. The course will be composed of numerous core modules, a variety of elective modules and a project. The research project is the culmination of your degree, allowing you to demonstrate and apply the techniques and knowledge acquired from the taught modules to a problem of real world academic or managerial concern.

There is an option to "concentrate" further in one of the following areas: Financial Analysis, Risk Management and Energy and Environment. For more information, see the course website: https://www.tcd.ie/business/msc/financial-risk/

Trinity Business School is partnered with the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association and the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute – both of whom have recognised the academic rigour and industry-relevant skills taught to students.

   

Students will take active part in finance simulations in trading, portfolio management and investments. All designed to simulate the world of global business in which you will work. 

Students will learn to use the Bloomberg Professional Service – the financial market system used by more than 320,000 decision-makers in business and finance globally – to gain an edge in a competitive job market. This hands-on experience will teach students to generate league tables and gain insight into company performance and cyclical trends. Students can also choose to work towards a professional certificate in Bloomberg.

Dublin is Ireland's Financial Services Centre, home to many of the world’s leading banks and financial services organisations. Trinity Business School is located only minutes away and students have access to industry speakers and networking events.
