About the course

The first year provides you with a firm foundation in general business and finance agendas including economics, accounting, quantitative methods and law. The second year continues with these themes, adding employability and entrepreneurship to the agenda. The modules in your first two years are all compulsory.

The final year is focused almost exclusively in the area of finance with a number of optional subjects that complement the core area. Throughout the programme you will develop the capacity for independent learning and the necessary skills both for study and later employment, which include presentation skills, group working skills and effective use of the internet for academic purposes.

All students have the option of either completing a 12-month work placement between the second and final years, or choosing to study abroad at a one of our partner universities. Or you could combine both and study abroad for 6 months and undertake a 6-month work placement.

Core Modules

• Global Finance and Markets

  The increasingly global nature of the operations of companies brings new risks to the generation of both profit and cash and to the maximisation of shareholders' funds. In response to this, management of international companies need to be able to assess the risks of operating internationally and appreciate the ways in which the financial management of international companies will differ from those of purely domestic companies. This module explores the theories and practices which are available in the financial management of the international company in meeting these needs. These theories and practices range from the strategic (such as the corporate structure of international companies) to the operational (such as the measurement and management of risk using the global financial markets).

• Analysis of Current Issues in Finance

  The module contains two different yet complementary themes. They are, firstly, the introduction to topical research themes in finance and, secondly, the evaluation of such themes using quantitative analysis. The two parts are approached differently. The first part relates to studies that are of current interest to which skills of analysis can be applied - examples would include financialisation (increase in importance of the financial industry), regulation and corporate governance within the field of finance. The second part would include event analysis for (say) takeovers, corporate failure, rights issues, capital market movements, etc. The themes are complementary as they both apply publicly available data to scrutiny.

• Money, Banking and Finance
