MSc in Finance at DCU

Dixith - MSc in Finance

My passion for subjects related to finance made me pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce. With the Bachelor’s degree in the bag, I wanted to gain some practical exposure in the finance stream, so I worked for three years upon completing my bachelor’s degree.

At the time, I wanted to pursue my master’s degree in finance to widen my knowledge and deepen my expertise. After doing detailed research, I found out about MSc in Finance offered by Dublin City University. The program has a specialization in two streams that are relevant to the current financial industry and the program offered by DCU is ranked #1 in Ireland and #49 in the world.

Regarding coursework there is a total of eight modules, containing six compulsory modules and two modules related to the specializations we choose. The two specializations at the moment are Capital Markets and Financial Technologies & Sustainable Finance. The course also includes a dissertation that carries 30 credits, where we can explore a topic of interest in great depth.
