You will develop the skills necessary to be successful in financial services such as banking, investment management, pension fund management, and insurance. During the course, you’ll also develop the sharp evaluation and analytical skills needed to move into more functional management roles.

We enable our students to understand and process financial information in businesses so that they apply those skills in their future careers.
The Final Year focuses on analytical areas such as Banking, Current Issues, and Global Finance and markets. They can also choose from several specialist modules such as Islamic Banking and Finance and Behavioural Finance to ready our students if they choose to pursue a unique specialisation.
