Napier pulls banking course
Edinburgh Napier University has scrapped its MSc in professional banking less than two years after it was launched.
The course was launched in 2009, but the university has decided to pull the plug on this years course after only receiving a small amount of applications.
Napier hoped to attract as many as 30 students a year to the course but only eight applicants signed up for last year's "pilot" course.
A university spokesman said that last year’s students found the course "extremely interesting and rewarding".
But he added: "For every postgraduate programme we offer, we need a certain number of students to make the course economically viable."
The university is working with the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland (CIOBS) to explore the possibility of relaunching the course this autumn.
