Programme Structure

The BSc (Hons) Financial Management syllabus provides students with knowledge and understanding of key aspects of management and finance through the combination of both academic study and skills development. The extensive programme provides students with a thorough understanding of how companies make financial and investment decisions under uncertainty and risk, and how financial markets function. The programme will focus on the ability to think critically and will, therefore, enable students to analyse and evaluate solutions to complex, real-life problems.

The programme operates on a 20-credit modular structure over three semesters. All taught modules are semester based and are worth 20 credits, project modules carry 30 credits each, and all BSc (Hons) students will need to complete two project modules.
