At Imperial College Business School, we hold a strong commitment to bridging the gender gap in the business sector.
To help towards closing this gap in business, Imperial College Business School offers a Women in Finance scholarship of £25,000 (for 2024 entry) to those demonstrating academic excellence and leadership potential. This award is available for all five Finance Master’s programmes at Imperial, which range from the broader to more specialised topics like fintech and risk management:
- MSc Finance
- MSc Finance & Accounting
- MSc Financial Technology
- MSc Investment & Wealth Management
- MSc Risk Management & Financial Engineering
As we celebrate International Women's Day, we spotlight finance students who are looking to make waves in the once-male dominated finance landscape. We hear insights from our MSc Finance students as they share their perspectives on what it means to be a woman in finance today.

As a woman in finance, Imperial College Business School has not only equipped me with essential financial skills but also instilled the confidence to be the only woman in the room and still make a meaningful impact. Being a woman in finance has not closed doors but rather opened them, from networking events, and unique opportunities to the supportive and motivating network of women who serve as role models at Imperial- lecturers, accomplished alumni and my peers. Their diverse experiences and advice will leave a lasting imprint on my career in finance and personal growth at Imperial.
