The MSc programme in Money, Banking and Central Banking - and the new pathway to Money, Banking and Wealth Management - is designed to offer specialised teaching to UK and overseas students. The subject is particularly relevant given all the changes introduced in banking and financial markets during the last global financial crisis as well as the changes made by major central banks in the running of their monetary policies since then. The programme pays particular attention to the changes introduced by major central banks since March 2020, with the outbreak of Covid-19 crisis, as well as to the launch of new digital currencies by central banks and the private sector. This all emphasises again the importance of high quality monetary and banking analysis so we can assess those policies compatible with stable economic growth and financial stability over the long term. Expert knowledge of monetary economics and monetary policy, risk management and financial institutions is going to be of crucial importance and this programme aims to produce graduates with this specialised knowledge and the skills required for a career in central banking and finance, in particular in investment banking, wealth management as well as monetary analysis suitable to pursue a career in research departments and specialised media.
In addition, the collaboration with the Institute of International Monetary Research will provide more opportunities to engage in academic and research seminars where students will learn from top academics in monetary economics. Students on the programme will be able to benefit from internship opportunities in various financial institutions (OMFIF, IIMR), as well as the accreditation on risk management provided by PRMIA, the Professional Risk Managers' International Association.

The programme will offer the latest research methods and tools to teach students to think critically and apply their knowledge to practical problems faced by investment banks wealth managers and central banks and other financial institutions. The programme will be delivered by staff with vast amounts of expertise in the fields covered within the programme, including banking and financial markets analysis, financial regulation analysis, central bank roles, new means of payments and monetary policy analysis from which students will greatly benefit. Specifically, the programme will benefit from having Professors Geoffrey Wood and Tim Congdon as members of the teaching team, both with a recognised career in this field and with experience in providing consultancy and expert advice at the highest governmental and political level in the UK.
