Content

To allow for greater flexibility in programme delivery and student choice, each module swings around on a regular basis. For instance, you’ll note that the Financial Statements module delivered in January 2024, also appears in September 2024, so on. The table above outlines which modules will run in the various intakes throughout the year. You’ll always start you course on carousel one (blue); you have to complete four modules from this section. PG Cert students will then have finished their course. PG Dip and MSc students can move on to carousel two (red). PG Dip students will complete four modules from carousel two (red) and carousel three (grey).

Content

MSc students will complete four modules in carousel two (red) and a further four modules in carousel three (grey). When you first apply to your course, it’s expected that you’ll choose your master’s degree programme. During the first three modules, at the students 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. Please note that King’s College London reviews the modules offered on a regular basis to provide up-to-date, innovative and relevant programmes of study. As a result, modules offered may be subject to change. We suggest you keep an eye on the course finder on our website for any updates. This PDF was updated in July 2024. Although it was up-to-date at the time it was produced, please make sure you check our website or contact us directly for the very latest information before you commit yourself to any of our courses.

Content

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 that 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 onto 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 on the course) as soon as you can. We’ll help you understand the amount of time that will be added onto 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.
