Develop specialist financial knowledge in areas such as global financial markets, risk management and corporate governance. Complement this with core management knowledge of marketing and managing people. You learn how to understand, interpret and critically evaluate financial information, as well as build skills in business management. This knowledge is vital for careers in management at senior levels and beyond. Key areas include • introduction to financial management • performance measurement and operations • risk management • international financial management • global financial markets • corporate governance, regulation and ethics • decision making and career management. You enhance your research skills by using the same Bloomberg technology that financial analysts use in the industry and extend your learning to take additional Bloomberg qualifications while you study for your degree. Our business and financial management courses share some common first year modules. This offers you flexibility, allowing you to move to a different specialism at the end of the first year if you decide this better suits your career ambitions.

There are career opportunities in general management as well as more specialised careers, including corporate treasury management and the finance and financial services areas. Recent graduates have successfully moved on to graduate schemes at major employers like Boots Alliance, Bentley and JCB.
