MS Finance in UK: shortlist programmes around real requirements

AdmiScan's catalogue-matched snapshot verified 13 September 2026 contains 51 catalog-ready programmes across 23 universities for this country-subject combination. 15 have an active 2027 intake and 0 are full-application-ready.

What changes when country and subject are considered together

Finance fit in UK

Finance master's programmes can differ substantially in quantitative depth, economics and accounting expectations, corporate finance, investments, markets and analytics, so academic-background fit matters. In UK, the useful comparison starts with the exact programme's published academic or experience requirements rather than a broad country assumption.

AdmiScan catalogue evidence

AdmiScan's catalogue-matched snapshot verified 13 September 2026 contains 51 catalog-ready programmes across 23 universities for this country-subject combination. 15 have an active 2027 intake and 0 are full-application-ready.

How to compare programmes

Compare quantitative and business prerequisites, curriculum focus, professional orientation, programme format, cost and application timing before shortlisting.

UK application context

UK master's and MBA programmes are often tightly defined by course-level entry requirements, programme length and published application rules.

Cost and financial pressure

Compare tuition, deposit requirements, programme length and living-cost pressure together rather than looking at tuition alone.

Evidence to verify

Use the exact course page for academic or experience requirements, English-language rules, fees and application timing.

Shortlist balance

Keep ambitious, target and safer programmes distinct. A strong country-subject match still needs to fit your academics or experience, budget, timing and unresolved evidence gaps.

Shortlist checklist

  • • Exact programme title and curriculum
  • • Published academic prerequisites or work-experience expectations
  • • Your relevant coursework, projects or work evidence
  • • English-language and test requirements where applicable
  • • Tuition, mandatory fees and likely living-cost pressure
  • • Programme-specific deadline and intake
  • • Official programme, admissions, tuition and deadline sources
  • • Ambitious, target and safer-list balance

Important limitation

This is a UK + Finance planning guide, not an admissions guarantee or a substitute for the current official programme rules. Requirements, fees and deadlines can change. Catalogue subject matching can include closely related programme titles, so use the individual programme page and official university source to confirm the exact curriculum. Deadline and tuition evidence are intentionally tracked separately: 9 programmes currently have a published 2027 deadline record and 14 have published 2027 tuition evidence in the structured catalogue.
