Study our MSc Law, Regulation and the International Financial System to discover the regulatory framework for international financial systems via legal and financial topics.
Governments, regulators, and the financial industry have made major efforts to promote legal compliance and fair-dealing cultures within the financial sector. This has increased the demand for skilled graduates with knowledge in both law and finance.
Our Master’s in Law, Regulation and the International Financial System is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the issues associated with the financial services sector. You will explore relevant knowledge related to business operations, regulations, and international best practice in this area. You’ll also develop in-depth learning through a major independent research project in a specialist area of your choice.
Successful graduates will be equipped with the specialist knowledge for the legal and financial industry. They will be ideally suited for roles in the legal sectors, financial institutions, public sectors, international institutions or non-governmental organisations, and for pursuing further research.
How you will learn
Teaching
In a typical week, learning takes place through a combination of lectures and seminars. You will be able to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in seminar sessions. Contact hours may fall between 9am and 9pm, depending on your elective modules and seminars.
Class sizes
Lectures usually are attended by larger groups and seminars/tutorials by smaller groups. This can vary more widely for modules that are shared between degrees.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you will need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework and presentations. Our Stockwell Street Library and online resources will support your further reading and research. Also, you can join a range of student societies and take part in employability and enterprise workshops.
Overall workload
Your overall workload consists of contact hours (lectures and seminars), independent learning, and assessments. For full-time students, the workload should be roughly equivalent to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of modules you are studying.
Assessment
On this course, students are assessed by essays and a dissertation.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
