MSc Finance & Sustainability (Dual Track)

Overview

A double-path master's pairing corporate finance with sustainability and ESG practice. Shared core in financial analysis and climate literacy, then pathways in Corporate Finance (valuation, capital, risk) and Sustainable Finance (transition risk, ESG disclosure, impact), ending with an integrated investment-and-transition capstone. The University of Brigant teaches this award to one academic standard whether you study on campus in Edinburgh or on the tuition-free online pathway. Assessment is identity-checked; the marking scheme does not change with your postcode. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. MSc Finance & Sustainability (Dual Track) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 24 months, and the credit total is 42. Students move from Financial Statement Analysis & Valuation through Financial Statement Analysis & Valuation; Climate Science & Transition Economics for Managers; Corporate Finance & Capital Markets; Research Methods & Identity-Checked Assessment; Advanced Valuation & Corporate Restructuring; Financial Risk Management & Derivatives, and finish on Dual-Track Capstone: Investment & Transition Case. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result. Reading is financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Value an asset or a business and defend the assumptions Read financial statements and a funding structure for risk Model cashflows, returns and sensitivities under real constraints Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The programme carries 42 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free (£0) on the online pathway. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with University of Brigant awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.

Code	Course	Credits · hours
FSUS701	Financial Statement Analysis & Valuation Financial Statement Analysis & Valuation (FSUS701) is a 3-credit course on MSc Finance & Sustainability (Dual Track), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result, using Financial Statement Analysis & Valuation as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence.

Dual-Track Capstone: Investment & Transition Case

Dual-Track Capstone: Investment & Transition Case (FSUS713) is a 6-credit course on MSc Finance & Sustainability (Dual Track), with 60 notional learning hours. By the end, students can read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result, using Dual-Track Capstone: Investment & Transition Case as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence.
