Master of Science in Financial Management

About The Course:

The MSc Financial Management at LSBM will enable you to develop a critical awareness and understanding of the current theories and issues in financial management, besides the analytical, critical reflection and research evaluation skills essential for informed decision-making.

Most importantly, it will educate you to identify and evaluate the impact of financial decisions on organisations, the business environment and their extended effects on leadership or organisations and business ethics.

The programme seeks to meet individual and industry needs by developing students with higher level cognitive skills and abilities who also possess an excellent practical understanding of “how to apply” rather than just “why it happens”.
