Each year, scholarships enable a number of MiF and MFA students to take the CFA Programme at the reduced fee of USD350 for the June sitting. The CFA Programme enrolment fee is also waived. A full set of CFA study materials is available at LBS. Students also receive a CFA Institute newsletter and are invited to CFA events.
Chartered Financial Analysis Institute is the global, not-for-profit association of investment professionals that awards the CFA and CIPM designations.
CFA Institute awards CFA Programme Partner status to recognise finance degree programmes which are (i) academically rigorous and (ii) closely aligned to professional practice. The CFA Institute recognises that professional and academic qualifications are complementary: both play an important role in ensuring the success of the finance industry.
No. Designation as a CFA University Affiliation Programme Partner does not mean that the MiF or MFA and the CFA are the same thing; they are complementary to each other. Because of the breadth and depth of curriculum, the MiF and MFA are appropriate for CFA candidates and CFA charter holders alike. The MiF and CFA are very different and complementary study experiences and many students choose to follow both qualifications as part of their professional development.

Students who are qualified accountants or who hold a professional certification in accounting (e.g. CPA) can waive out of the preparatory accounting course. Students who are confident of their statistics knowledge and pass a test can waive out of the Data Analytics for Finance introductory course.
No. You can choose to do a general Masters in Finance but still tailor the programme to your interests and goals through electives of your choice. Concentrations allow you to focus your academic and practical learning in a specific area, helping you to progress as a specialist in that area.
All programme components are delivered in person and we expect students to fully attend on campus whether in London or in Dubai if you are taking electives there.
