Overview
The MSc Finance and Trading programme equips you with the skills needed for investing in financial markets. You will gain expertise in financial theory, quantitative analysis, and trading strategies, using professional-grade tools. Students will learn about how to price assets, manage risk, and the structures involved with trading in stock markets, derivative exchanges, and in foreign exchange. Queen’s University is ranked third in the UK for Graduate Prospects in Finance. (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025) Students may wish to join the Queen’s Student Managed Fund (QSMF) which provides students with the opportunity to manage and operate a real-money investment portfolio. Established in 2012, the fund transitioned to a real money fund in April 2016. Students currently manage funds of around £60,000 to £70,000 through one of our Gold Sponsors, Davy Group, Ireland's leading provider of wealth management, asset management, capital markets and financial advisory services. QSMF is also generously supported by Citco, the world's largest hedge fund administrator.
