The philosophy underlying the programme is that a rapidly changing world requires adaptable analytical skills. This degree is designed to develop broad business skills as well as more specialised technical knowledge in the fields of economics and finance. Students will gain a theoretical and practical perspective of the modern finance industry and will analyse the economic context relating to real issues such as inflation, unemployment, taxation, global finance and trade, inequality, international competition, consumer behaviour and economic growth.

Graduates will be equipped with knowledge and skills in the core areas of business, economics and finance, and the capability to apply these skills in multidisciplinary environments. This programme provides opportunities for training, preparing graduates for jobs in banking, stockbroking, funds management, insurance and financial services.
