Finance and Investment BSc (Hons)

The Finance and Investment BSc program provides a rigorous academic approach to finance with a focus on practical skills and employability. It offers integrated theory and practice in all major finance areas and provides essential training for students to pursue a broad range of finance-related professions. Students will be equipped with the most cutting-edge understanding, advanced technical skillset, and professional attitudes to excel in their future careers in financial sectors.

The discipline of finance is explored in-depth and broadened by the development of links with other co-related disciplines such as accounting and economics. The program places a distinct mathematical-quantitative emphasis on the subject matter and, where appropriate, the use of commercial database and computer software, such as Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters Eikon, Matlab, Python, and R is integrated into the teaching methods to bridge its theoretical and practical aspects.

Our Trading Room will give you a simulated experience on industry-standard software that is used by decision-makers in practice.  The program is also structured to address many of the competence requirements of professional finance bodies.
