You can also strengthen your study skills with the support of our Academic Success Advisers.



On this course, you'll develop the critical thinking and decision-making techniques needed in areas such as banking operations, corporate finance, investment strategies, risk management models and financial market developments.



When you graduate, you’ll have specialist skills and knowledge valued by today’s employers. You’ll be prepared to meet the complex demands of the modern workplace, and to take your place as a professional in a knowledge-based global economy.
