Get the skills to land a high powered, well paid job in the fields of finance and management with the added benefit of international experience. You will study at the ICMA Centre, part of the triple-accredited Henley Business School, which was ranked number one in the UK for Accounting and Finance in the Guardian University league table 2015. This course enables you to gain a deep understanding of the key aspects of corporate financing, business management, accounting, economics and business law. It offers integrated theory and practice that will empower you to find your dream job within a large corporation, working in corporate finance, general management or a wide range of other areas. Our dedicated careers team will help you to achieve your goals and secure graduate employment. This degree includes one year of study at the University of Venice; a prestigious institution with a long tradition in teaching management, finance and economics. All modules are taught in English. There’s also a huge bonus when it comes to cost, as tuition fees for the year in Venice will be greatly reduced. Home/EU students will pay £1,350 for this year (as a £4,000 scholarship will be granted by the University of Reading to all Home/UK students against University of Venice fees.) Non-EU students will pay £9,600 (including a £7,000 fee due to the University of Venice). This means you get a highly respected qualification, an international perspective and excellent value for money. Placement By choosing this degree, you are selecting to spend your second year at the University of Venice. It is not a year out from study, but an integrated year that is built directly into the structure of the course, meaning you can still complete your degree within three years. You will be attending a renowned academic institution, but there are also many cultural benefits to spending time in Venice, with its vibrant personality and iconic architecture, artworks and canals. A mentor system will help you to integrate into life at the University and a guidance service offers support and pastoral care, making sure that you can fully enjoy your year abroad.
