Our CFA affiliated BSc Finance degree offers a strong foundation in finance theory and real-world application, helping you develop the analytical and technical skills employers value. With an optional placement opportunity, you can apply what you learn in class to the real world and gain valuable work experience, preparing you for today’s fast-evolving finance sector.
The course focuses on current finance and investment related challenges facing organisations and society, and allows you to tailor your degree through a wide range of options built into the programme.
You can explore areas such as behavioural finance and financial trading, engage with topical issues including ethics and corporate governance, or broaden your perspective through selected management subjects. Many options reflect content typically taught at master’s level, enabling you to specialise in the areas that interest you most.
The degree shares the same first year modules as our Accounting and Finance degree, making it easy to switch routes at the end of year one if you decide that you’d prefer an accounting pathway.
Accredited by professional accounting bodies in the UK (CIMA and ICAEW), the programme offers exemptions from selected exams, enabling you to fast-track your route to professional qualification.
