Course Overview

This one-year course is for those who already have qualifications (Level 4 and 5 or 240 credits) or experience in this field and wish to gain a degree in Business Administration with a specific focus. It opens the door to a range of rewarding careers in finance, both in the UK and abroad.

This course provides you with a comprehensive knowledge of the main ideas, concepts and principles of audit and finance as they relate to individuals, businesses, institutions and governments. Blending theory with practice, it gives you the necessary financial, analytical, communication and IT skills to interpret real-life business situations and make confident, professional and astute business decisions.

With this degree, you should have already studied finance and audit at an appropriate level or have substantial, relevant work experience in the field. You will be ready to extend your existing knowledge, skills and capabilities to respond proactively and creatively to contemporary issues in finance and audit in an increasingly global marketplace.

Your supervised final-year project is expected to take an international focus.
