Generally prospective students are required to have practical experience in this field before undergoing postgraduate study. The course may be designed to provide a formal qualification to those already in the industry, possibly as a requirement to join a particular industry body. Other courses may give specialist skills to those already practicing as finance professionals, such as international finance. However, there does exist a small opportunity for postgraduate research. Generally, an Honours year at the end of a Banking or Finance undergraduate degree will exist as a stepping stone to later research qualifications, such as a Masters or PhD.
