MSci Finance with Innovation
University of Bristol · Bristol, United Kingdom
About this programme
The future requires a multidisciplinary approach. Tomorrow's successful innovators will be people who can skilfully combine science, art, engineering, the humanities, economics, and enterprise skillsets to come up with purpose-driven solutions that drive positive change. These problem-solvers will be team players who employ a breadth of skills and qualities, and work across specialisations, cultures and industries.This course combines in-depth subject specialism at the University of Bristol alongside practice-based learning delivered by the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship's multiple award-winning teaching team. In conjunction with your finance studies, you will learn to apply design thinking methods to grow a moment of inspiration into feasible plans that could include launching social and commercial enterprises.The Finance with Innovation programme shares its core finance content with the BSc Finance. As such, the programme offers rigorous and practical training in all areas of finance, with a focus on the quantitative techniques that are required for a successful career in the financial services industry and beyond, including economic consultancy, government departments, central banks and regulatory agencies. Graduates from the programme will also be well-placed to pursue postgraduate studies in specialist master's programmes at the best international universities.Collaborative group work is a core component of our learning approach. You will join up with students from other innovation disciplines, such as psychology, physics and film and television, building on each other's ideas and combining knowledges to develop novel solutions. This approach mirrors that of innovation teams to build in-demand professional skills in how to communicate, deliver actionable results, and give value to your unique interests and contributions.By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of products and services and how to sustain new endeavours, including through financing. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you throughout your studies.For more information visit the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.Teaching for the first two years of the course is at our vibrant Clifton Campus. It's here where you'll build a strong understanding of both subjects. From your third year, your location of study will depend on the specific units you choose to study, but will likely include some teaching at our Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus for units relating to business and to innovation. Here, enhanced links with businesses will help give you real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate.This programme is Recognised by the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE Recognised).
