The investment management and financial analysis sectors require industry professionals with advanced technical knowledge, plus practical experience with programming. Our Investment Management and Financial Analysis MSc (IMFA) programme is designed to equip you with these skills, and help you acquire your CFA Level II professional qualification.Kolkata Stocks
As such, the course offers modules that are academically more advanced and, at the same time, more practice-oriented than those offered by a typical UK master’s programme in finance. You will study technical and practice-oriented modules. LUMS accounting and finance specialists and expert tutors from Fitch Learning will prepare you to complete CFA Level II. Core modules embed training in financial programming languages including VBA, R and MATLAB, and provide hands-on experience with data platforms such as Thomson EIKON or FactSet.
You can elect to prepare for the February CFA Level I exam or if you already have CFA Level I, you will study alternative modules to benefit a career in Investment Management or Financial Analysis. You then prepare for the August CFA Level II exam. An alternative non-CFA pathway is available for those who do not want to acquire the CFA qualification, or those who already have the qualification but still wish to benefit from this practitioner-oriented programme.
You will study the following modules, outlined in the course structure:
Term 1 core modules:
Students without CFA Stage 1 will also study Topics in Professional AnalysisSurat Stock
Students who have already attained CFA stage 1, or those on a non-CFA pathway will also study Quantitative Methods for Finance

You will also receive career support from our specialist Financial Careers Coach. Potential careers on completion of your Master’s include working as an asset analyst/trainee fund manager or in the fields of asset management, investment banking or financial services.Indore Stock
