COURSE DESCRIPTION

Combine business knowledge and your managerial skill set with financial expertise to give you an advantage when you enter the competitive financial services industry. Our finance modules count towards accreditation with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

Put what you’ve learned into practice by taking part in a live business consultancy project where you can work with established businesses, charities and third sector organisations and develop skills and experience that will make you more attractive to future employers.

Our Finance modules are mapped to certain ACCA modules so students who have completed this degree won’t need to sit these ACCA papers to get their accreditation.

Opt to take a paid work placement in the third year to develop experience and skills that employers are looking for and being to develop your professional network. We have a dedicated employability and placements office that will help you secure valuable placements at SMEs, national and global organisations including Disney and Apple. They can also help with advice and guidance on CV and letter writing, interview techniques, assessment centres and psychometric tests.

Meet high-level representatives of professional bodies and financial organisations through our guest lecture programme. Past speakers have included the Chief Economist of Yorkshire Bank and the CEO of the London Stock Exchange.

Experience the international financial markets first hand by choosing our study abroad option. Our students have had the opportunity to study at universities in Spain, Hawaii and New Zealand among many others.
