These subjects, along with law and quantitative techniques, form the core of our Money, Banking and Finance programme. In your first year you study basic economics, accounting, law, quantitative techniques and the UK financial systems. The second and third years build on this foundation with compulsory courses in economics, domestic and international banking, financial management and banking law together with a range of options. These enable you to specialise in your preferred areas such as economics, banking, law, accounting or operations research. One variant of the programme allows you to study a foreign language such as French, German, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese.
Teaching is by lecture, small groups and computer-based exercise classes.
You are assessed mainly through examinations, with some assessed assignments for more practical courses. Our students have an excellent track record in the job market with many finding positions with top City financial institutions and the 'Big Five' consultancy and accounting firms. Most of our students find positions in the banking, financial and government sectors and the accountancy and legal professions.
