Program Description

This course is designed to give students the numerical skills and specialist knowledge for a range of roles in finance. Students will learn the tools, principles and practices of the finance industry, as well as the fundamental mathematics behind banking, insurance, accountancy and more.

There are a small but focused number of modules in the first year that cover all the essentials needed for the rest of the degree. Students will also have modules on finance to choose from, covering topics that include accounting, economic analysis, and financial management.

In the second year, students continue to build a powerful toolbox of mathematical techniques which they can apply to increasingly complex problems. They will be able to examine more advanced topics in finance as well, such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and corporate finance.

Some module options include more project work. This gives students the chance to put their mathematics skills into practice in different contexts and scenarios that they might encounter when you start work after graduation. A module on careers development gives students the chance to find out about different career paths, learn about potential employers, write an impressive CV and excel at job interviews.

By third year, students will have the skills, knowledge and experience to go in lots of different directions in finance and mathematics. There are lots of optional modules to choose from, so students can study the topics that are most useful to the career path they want to take or that they enjoy the most.
