Overview

Unlike traditional master’s programmes in finance, this MBA is uniquely centred on goals-based financial planning, which serves as the cornerstone of both the curriculum and its practical applications. The programme commences with an intensive goals-based financial planning module, delivered over three business days. During this module, participants explore in depth the theories, legislation, policies, practices, and trends that enhance the value of financial advice to clients. Employing a Socratic approach, learners are encouraged to develop their own perspectives on specific aspects of the value provision cycle, which will inform and shape subsequent project work.
