Overview

Master of Finance

The Master of Finance from the Sobey School of Business will help you become the sought-after job applicant that employers will compete to hire. 

The Sobey MFin program is a crucial step in your future success.

This program is modular, so you’ll create a strong foundation of knowledge and then build upon it in a structured, logical progression through the curriculum.

The Master of Finance (MFin) program at St. Mary's University is based on the concepts and theories of financial engineering. 

The objective of this twelve-month intensive program is to prepare graduates for careers in financial analysis and advising, portfolio and risk management, and corporate finance.  

This is achieved through a combination of:

  • classroom instruction,
  • independent research and
  • hands-on use of financial data and proprietary financial management software.

The program is lock-step in sequence and prepares students for Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation through an in-depth exploration of finance areas and a CFA Exam Preparation workshop.  

Enrolment in the CFA program and registration in the CFA Level 1, 2, or 3 exams are included in the MFin Program Fee.
