MSc Finance & Investment

Academic Overview

The MSc Finance & Investment at IU develops quantitative and strategic skills for modern capital markets. You will build discounted cash flow models, analyse fixed income and equity portfolios, and interpret macroeconomic drivers of asset prices. Modules integrate Bloomberg-style case data with ethical frameworks for responsible investment. Graduates join banks, asset managers, fintech firms, and corporate treasury teams worldwide. MSc Finance & Investment is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 24 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Financial Markets & Institutions through Financial Markets & Institutions; Corporate Finance & Valuation; Quantitative Methods for Finance; Financial Accounting Analysis; Portfolio Theory & Asset Management; Fixed Income & Derivatives, and finish on MSc Finance Capstone. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result. Reading is financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Value companies using DCF, comparables, and precedent transactions Construct diversified portfolios under modern portfolio theory constraints Interpret Basel III, MiFID II, and UK FCA regulatory requirements Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The degree is awarded directly by IU International University of Applied Sciences, seated in Warsaw, Poland. Studies are conducted in full alignment with Polish and European academic standards.
