LONDON, May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Financial Edge, the education provider for Wall Street's leading investment banks, and Northeastern University London has announced a partnership to launch a new Masters in Global Investment Banking.

Financial Edge Training and Northeastern University London announce a partnership with the launch of the MSc Global Investment Banking degree
“We are excited to be working with Financial Edge,” said the professor Scott WildmanDean of Northeastern University London. “This program combines Financial Edge's expert financial training with Northeastern University London's world-class academic reputation. Our shared commitment to innovation, excellence and teaching real-world skills will help students develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the investment banking industry.”
The MSc Global Investment Banking is an intensive 12-month program designed to help students fast-track investment banking roles. This conversion master's degree explores the different aspects of the investment banking industry, including how banks work, the relationships banks share with their clients, the day-to-day work and the role of investment banking in the global business landscape.
“Only 1% of applicants are accepted into investment banking internships,” he said Alastair Matchett, CEO of Financial Edge, “and most academic programs lack the real, first-hand industry knowledge and recruiting support needed to succeed. Investment banking hiring trends have evolved over time to focus on academically diverse candidates – not just those with finance degrees. We are proud to offer a degree that is dedicated to teaching investment bankers the real skills from day one, providing a unique, alternative route into the industry.”
The program will be delivered in small, highly interactive classes with personal supervision from expert financial instructors, including former investment bankers. Students will also have full access to Felix, Financial Edge's on-demand learning and data platform used by more than 20,000 Wall Street analysts, which will enable them to integrate real-time company and market data into their learning and practical exercises.
Taught by Financial Edge's expert faculty of former investment bankers and finance professionals with extensive Wall Street experience, the MSc Global Investment Banking provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of the industry.
“Our trainers are the best in the business,” said Financial Edge CEO Andrea Ward. “They have worked as investment bankers at the world's leading banks, including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Barclays. We also work closely with the world's largest banks on a daily basis, benefiting from their unique insight into the recruitment process, including the key skills and attributes that recruiters look for in investment banking applicants. We have built this very knowledge into this program.”
The MSc Global Investment Banking differentiates itself from traditional graduate finance programs by bringing the knowledge and real-world skills of investment banking into the classroom. It combines academic rigor with hands-on, hands-on training, covering key topics such as financial modelling, accounting, corporate valuation, mergers and acquisitions and private equity. Students gain hands-on experience with real-world data, real case studies, and innovative technology used by real analysts in the office. Courses and exams will test students' ability to handle the same tasks that investment banking analysts do in their day-to-day roles.
“The investment banking industry is fiercely competitive and constantly evolving,” he said Alastair Matchett, “and it takes more than ever to stand out from the crowd. Our collaboration with Northeastern University London is testament to our commitment to providing students with the practical skills and depth of knowledge they need to succeed – that's the kind of information you simply can't get online.”
The MSc Global Investment Banking is open to both UK and international students. Applications are now being accepted for the September 2023 cohort. The blended learning program is designed to support those in part-time employment. For more information and to apply, visit the NU London website.
