MSc International Investment Banking

MSc International Investment Banking is designed for those who wish to pursue a career in the investment banking sector where demand is high for specialists with applicable knowledge of corporate finance, portfolio theory, investment, and commercial banking across the global market.

The programme aims to develop expertise in the fields of international banking and financial markets with a focus on security analysis and investment management. It sheds light on how the economy works, how decisions are made, and how financial systems and capital markets operate.

Students on the programme have the opportunity to work on the Lincoln Student Managed Investment Fund, which operates in the same style as an investment management company operating on the London Stock Exchange. Supported by staff who have previously worked as investment bankers, students run all aspects of the fund and are fully responsible for its success.

Successful graduates may go on to pursue careers in finance and investment in roles including analyst, trader, portfolio manager in investment banks, commercial banks, hedge funds, and pension funds.

Prioritising Face-to-Face Teaching

At the University of Lincoln, we strive to ensure our students’ experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, we have adapted to Government guidance to keep our students, staff, and community safe. All remaining Covid-19 legal restrictions in England were lifted in February 2022 under the Government’s Plan for Living with Covid-19, and we have embraced a safe return to in-person teaching on campus. Where appropriate, face-to-face teaching is enhanced by the use of digital tools and technology and may be complemented by online opportunities where these support learning outcomes.

We are fully prepared to adapt our plans if changes in Government guidance make this necessary, and we will endeavour to keep current and prospective students informed. For more information about how we are working to keep our community safe, please visit our coronavirus web pages.

Industry Expertise

Lincoln International Business School has an experienced team of staff, which is made up of academically and professionally qualified lecturers with relevant industrial experience and finance experts with wide research interests.

The Business School hosts a series of visiting speakers each year. As part of the School, students will have the opportunity to learn from industry experts. Previous speakers have included representatives from organisations such as Deloitte, Santander, HSBC, Innocent, The Institute of Internal Auditors and Sir David Tweedie (ex-Chairman of the IASB).

Students also have the chance to build their skills and knowledge further with extra-curricular activities such as joining a society, volunteering or becoming a Student Ambassador.

Working in Partnership

Lincoln International Business School works with students and organisations to enhance the contribution of business to society. For students, that means developing their business skills and knowledge to improve their career readiness.
