Finance - MSc

Nottingham Business School’s purpose is to provide research and education that combines academic excellence with positive impact on people, business and society. We give you the opportunity to hone your skills in the company of business experts, develop your own professional network, study abroad, and complete a placement or internship with companies like L’Oreal, Boots, Adidas and Paul Smith.

A personalised approach to learning

Personalised support in a business school of our size is unprecedented: simply put, we are dedicated to giving you everything you need to make this experience your own. We recognise that you are unique and have individual aspirations and goals, particular interests and your own set of developmental needs.

Business challenges

We offer students the chance to put their business skills to the test through ground-breaking business challenges and competitions. This provides students with the exciting opportunity to work on their consultancy skills, whilst giving local and national businesses a chance to support their growth. Our students work in groups on business issues submitted from a range of companies, providing recommendations and solutions to their specific organisational challenges. It is a great opportunity to develop transferable skills through hands-on problem solving and a chance to network with industry. 

Learn from industry leaders

Great companies have great leaders, and learning from their experience is one of our strongest traditions. Through our popular Business Leaders Lecture Series, we invite experts from a wide range of industries to share their knowledge with you. Guests have included senior managers from major organisations like John Lewis, Santander, Refinitiv and Paul Smith. As we continue to innovate and expand the Business Leaders Lecture Series, these have evolved into a podcast series.

The business leaders of the future must be responsible and sustainable to be successful in a changing global environment. Nottingham Business School is committed to developing these responsible business leaders.
