King’s Business School
MSc / PG Dip
To allow for greater flexibility in programme delivery and student selection, each module swings around on a regular basis. For instance, you’ll note that the Investments module delivered in September 2023, also appears in May 2024, January 2025 and so on. The table above outlines which modules will run in the various intakes throughout the year.
You’ll always start your course on carousel one (navy blue); you have to complete four modules from this section before you can move on to carousel two (red) where there are a further four modules to complete. After completion of carousel two, PG Dip students will have finished their course, and MSc students can move on to carousel three (grey). Here they will complete a further four modules. When you first apply to join the course, it’s expected that you’ll choose the master’s degree programme. During the first three modules, at your request and as an exemption to the general rule, you may be able to switch between programmes. Once you’ve begun your fourth module however, your pathway will be fixed and no transfers will be permitted.
Important: In carousel three (grey), MSc students can either choose to take Global Tactical Allocation and Behavioural Finance OR the Research Project.
To take the Research Project, students must have taken Introduction to Statistical Programming and Computational Finance. Once these pre-requisite modules have been completed, you can begin the Research Project module. Please speak to your Student Success Advisor for timings of the Research Project module.

Taking a break.
We understand that many of our students will have full-time work and family commitments alongside their studies. In order to offer flexibility around your daily lives, we’ve designed this programme to be delivered part-time and in a more flexible pattern than you might experience on a traditional on-campus course.
We would note though, that while our modules are designed to help you get back on to the programme as quickly as possible, any pause in study will delay your graduation date. If you’re considering taking a break, please get in touch with your dedicated Enrolment Advisor (if you haven’t started yet) or Student Success Advisor (if you’ve started studying) as soon as you can. We’ll help you understand the amount of time that will be added on to your studies as a result of the interruption and will work with you to ensure that your return is as seamless as possible.
Over the next three pages, we’ve illustrated a few examples to help you understand the impact of taking a break from the course. Please speak to your Advisor if you’re thinking of taking a break.
