The skills and knowledge you develop in finance and management will open up a range of job opportunities in both the private and public sectors, in areas such as asset financing, Treasury, banking, hedge funds, stockbroking, private equity and financial planning. The course is also designed to help your progression to professional qualifications, and matches the needs of relevant professional bodies. Alternatively, many recent graduates have undertaken further academic study.
