The University of Oxford's Law Faculty, in conjunction with the Said Business School of the University of Oxford, is launching a pioneering new degree program: "The Oxford Master's in Law and Finance." The new degree, which begins in October 2010, will be a full-time nine-month program offering students with a prior background in law the chance to develop an advanced interdisciplinary understanding of financial transactions, and of the swiftly evolving economic and regulatory context.
