The Money, Banking and Finance BSc at Birmingham will equip students with the intellectual skills they need to work in the dynamic, fast-changing financial services sector. The program combines the analytical rigour of an Economics degree with a practical focus on banking, accounting, law and finance.

 

Economics is important, it means passing on state-of-the-art knowledge to the next generation as part of the department's responsibility to the profession and to students. The department's responsibility is to help teach students to communicate what they have learnt and how it can be applied - to prospective employers, to parents, to all the people who benefit from the making of informed decisions. 

Why study this course?

• Be part of the next generation of responsible leaders - the department is developing a curriculum that holds responsible and ethical practice at its core. Students will be involved in research from the start, applying what they are taught to real world problems and honing their communication skills when presenting findings to stakeholders.
• Join a vibrant academic community - As part of the Birmingham Business School, students will be supported to achieve their best and that includes all aspect of their wellbeing. This includes making sure students have access to extensive welfare services, mentoring programs and student societies, including the university's thriving Economics Society.

• Strong job opportunities through industry links - the university's strong links with industry mean that study will be combined with a real practical focus, leading to excellent job opportunities, with 91% of students entering work or further study after 6 months (DLHE 2017).
