Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation qualifications

    Postgraduate award: 17 weeks part-time online

Course Description

A part-time, online programme delivered in collaboration with the Bank of England

The Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation programme has been designed for professionals working in the banking and financial sectors who require a level of flexibility in order to develop their career alongside other commitments.

Monetary policy and financial regulation are constantly evolving. Current issues are how to manage quantitative easing and the need for fiscal support after Covid, whilst suppressing the risk of any inflationary surge. This urgent need sits on top of the pressure to encourage FinTech, and find ways to utilise the insights of behavioural finance and the potential of Big Data. It is in this climate that, in collaboration with the Bank of England, we have developed the Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation qualification.

Built with the industry professional in mind and delivered by academics from Warwick Business School (WBS) alongside policy experts from the Bank of England, and beyond, this programme will introduce you to the latest evidence led and practice informed financial regulation and monetary policy, while providing practical discussion of real-world cases.

Qualification levels

  • Successful completion of a single module grants the participant a Postgraduate Award.
  • Successful completion of three modules grants the participant a Postgraduate Certificate.
  • Successful completion of six modules grants the participant a Postgraduate Diploma.
  • Successful completion of seven modules (including the Research Methods & Dissertation module) grants the participant a full MSc qualification.

Entry Requirements

This programme is suitable for professionals working in the banking, financial or related professional services sector who are looking to evidence their knowledge, gain insight and develop their career.

Our participants come from a range of companies and organisations within central banking, commercial and retail banking, financial auditing and financial regulation sectors.

  • Experience – You must possess previous relevant work experience within the banking and financial regulation sector
  • Academic record – You must have an upper second class honours degree at undergraduate level from a UK university or the equivalent from an overseas university

However, applications are also welcomed from candidates who do not have the academic qualifications but possess demonstrable experience of working in banking and financial regulation at a level sufficient with the requirements of the course.

Data and finance are used throughout the programme and practitioners often use some modelling to make their points. Therefore students need to be comfortable with statistical data and some maths. Maths booster materials are available for any student who feels they would benefit. The standard required is not high, all that is needed is a willingness to engage.
