Law, Regulation and the International Financial System (Taught)

Study our MSc Law, Regulation and the International Financial System to discover the regulatory framework for international financial systems via legal and financial topics.

Governments, regulators, and the financial industry have made major efforts to promote legal compliance and fair-dealing cultures within the financial sector. This has increased the demand for skilled graduates with knowledge in both law and finance.

Our Master’s in Law, Regulation and the International Financial System is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the issues associated with the financial services sector. You will explore relevant knowledge related to business operations, regulations, and international best practice in this area. You’ll also develop in-depth learning through a major independent research project in a specialist area of your choice.

Successful graduates will be equipped with the specialist knowledge for the legal and financial industry. They will be ideally suited for roles in the legal sectors, financial institutions, public sectors, international institutions or non-governmental organisations, and for pursuing further research.
