Behavioural Finance

The msc behavioural finance at the icma centre will give you a deep understanding of the world of finance, financial markets and the psychological factors that influence investment decisions and systematically affect market outcomes. financial institutions are increasingly utilising behavioural finance to explain and predict investment patterns and customer behaviours. hence behavioural finance graduates are in increasingly higher demand.

Despite the volatile nature of the financial markets, demand for well‐qualified recruits remains high. schooled in the field of behavioural finance, you will be in demand as investment banks, asset managers and associated industries attempt to understand investment patterns and pricing bubbles that cannot be explained by conventional finance theories. thus, they have been showing increasing attention to behaviourally driven investment philosophies over the last few years. we expect many of our graduates to enter the industry at either the ‘analyst’ level or as ‘associates’, who tend to have several years of relevant professional experience. you'll leave us equipped with knowledge and transferable skills that are also prized by employers outside of the traditional banking and finance sectors. many of our alumni are currently enjoying successful careers with multinational companies, consulting firms, government agencies and regulatory organisations throughout the world. you will also gain the knowledge and skills required to continue your studies at the doctoral level.
