About this course

The BA International Finance programme is perfect for students who want to study finance in a global environment. This course combines modules from both the Accounting and International Business Management programmes. By doing this, we provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to prepare for a successful career in finance, whether in banking, accountancy, or other related fields.

Our goal is not just to help you understand business broadly, but also to ensure you meet the high standards required in the finance industry. You will gain a broad-based understanding of business that covers essential areas like human resource management, marketing, and finance.

The course will help you develop core skills, such as project management, entrepreneurship, and creativity. You will also enhance your coaching, mentoring, and communication skills throughout the modules.

In your second year, you will explore the key elements of finance and business management. This level introduces you to important topics that will be crucial as you move forward in your studies. You will learn about financial management, which includes understanding how businesses manage their finances, financial reporting, and the banking system. These skills are vital for anyone looking to become a finance professional or work in related fields.

In your final year, you will dive deeper into the global context of finance. This year is designed to test your understanding of major theories and frameworks that you have learned throughout the programme. You will be expected to complete an independent project that relates to a global issue, an international organisation, or both. This project will allow you to apply what you have learned and demonstrate your problem-solving abilities.

Moreover, the course will prepare you to face challenges such as risk management and the need for strong leadership skills in today’s finance sector. You will gain insight into how investment managers operate and what they must consider when making decisions. By studying various aspects of auditing, stock markets, and international taxation, you will understand the complexities of the finance world.

The BA International Finance programme is engaging and relevant, equipping you with the skills needed to succeed in a dynamic environment. Whether you aim to work in banking, accountancy, or pursue other career paths in finance, this course prepares you for a bright future. You will leave with the confidence and capability to make a real impact in the global finance community.
