UCAS Code:
- LN13
3 years (Full-time) / n/a (Part-time) / n/a (Distance / E-Learning)
This programme is designed to develop academic and technical skills and equip students for careers in economics, finance and business, as well as providing the foundations for further study.
The programme emphasises the close relationship between economics and finance, and places those subjects in their broader organisational, social and political contexts.
The City of London is the most profitable square mile in the world. The demand for skilled personnel in the finance area has outstripped supply. Finance is considered by many employers as an essential training for employment in the financial services sector. Economics is the foundation of modern finance. A degree bringing together these two subjects prepares the student for careers in financial institutions both as a specialist and a generalist. It is also a good foundation for postgraduate study.
