Course programme
The first year comprises six compulsory modules. Subject areas including financial institutions and markets, microeconomics, quantitative methods and accounting are to establish the academic foundation for the second year of the programme with a study skills module equipping students with the necessary key communication skills, soft skills and learning strategies to enhance their learning and employability.
In second year you develop subject specialism. You will take five specialist finance modules which develop knowledge and skills in areas including corporate finance, money and the economy, financial modelling, financial accounting and a module which introduces students to principles of investing.

This will provide a link between the subjects you have been studying and their application in a 'real world' setting, as well as allowing you to further develop your personal profile and finance skills base. Satisfactory completion of the placement year will lead to the award of the Diploma in Professional Practice. Students have also the option to study abroad for a year; satisfactory completion of a study abroad year will lead to the award of the Diploma in International Academic Studies.
You spend your final year developing specialist in-depth knowledge of portfolio management, international investment, financial statement analysis, regulation, corporate governance, quantitative analysis, derivatives and the fundamental principles underpinning risk management.
