MSc Investment Management has been acknowledged for incorporating the CFA Programme Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) and placing emphasis on the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice within the programme. 

Available from the beginning of the September 2019 academic year, the Master's programme will now position students to obtain the CFA® designation, which has become the most respected and recognised credential in the world. 

Affiliation with CFA cements the University's commitment and expertise in preparing potential students for the CFA examinations, thus helping students receive an edge as they enter their professional life. Through participation in this programme, the University is eligible to receive three student scholarships for the CFA Program each year. In addition, the affiliation opens up a world of resources and opportunities for students from exclusive access to all three levels of the CFA Program® eBook curriculum, access to sample exams for each level of the CFA Program exams and Code of Ethics and Standards video series to the opportunity to attain up to 22 Certificates of Achievement from CFA institute in their first year of MSc Investment Management and much more.

The MSc Investment Management at Middlesex has been created to reflect the latest developments in finance theory and the investment finance industry.
