According to Wendy Alexander, Associate Dean, Degree Programmes and Career; “We’re thrilled to be top of the tables for the third year running.  Being ranked number one doesn’t mean that we are resting on our laurels though. Our Masters in Finance is no longer the preserve of bankers it is also geared to anyone involved with finance - asset managers, CFOs and risk professionals.  
“We’ve learnt the lessons from the financial crisis and are sharing them with new leaders from more developed and emerging markets than ever before.  London's financial status allows our global participants to experience all aspects of the sector whilst they are with us and depart with a fantastic worldwide network to last a lifetime.”
