Summary

BSc Economics and Finance (Industry) is a four-year career-focused degree that combines the broad sweep and critical thinking of economics with a focus on the markets and investing of finance. The programme is flexible after the first year of your studies, allowing you to choose modules based on your strengths and interests as they evolve. You’ll benefit from our specialist careers coaching throughout your degree, designed to prepare you for the career you want.

Course overview

You will learn from leading academic researchers and expert practitioners in economics and finance, and you will begin by learning the foundations of finance theory and methodology and the fundamentals of economics.

Your first year includes the modules Accounting and Finance, Quantitative Methods for Economics, and Principles of Economics A. These will introduce you to the key principles of both fields and are designed to give you solid foundations for the remainder of your degree.

In your second year, you will learn about asset pricing, financial accounting and econometrics, amongst other topics.

Your third year is spent in industry. You’ll be supported in securing a placement, with past students joining companies such as IBM, Lloyds Bank, Microsoft, PwC and the Bank of England. Roles on offer range from project management and logistics to investment, business development and risk. Most placements are in the UK, but there are some options overseas.

In your final year, you have more flexibility in your module options and can choose from Game Theory, Portfolio Management, Financial Markets, and Monetary Microeconomics, among other options.

Alongside these academic modules and throughout all three years of your study, you will have modules on careers and employability led by our Career Coaches. These are designed to prepare you for interviews and internships and show you what careers are available.
