Course summary

Finance and Investment

If you're a problem solver who wants a career making data-driven decisions, then our BSc Finance and Investment is the course for you.

Build a strong knowledge of key financial principles and techniques while exploring topics such as data analysis, econometrics, derivatives, portfolio, and risk management. Develop data handling skills by working on real-time business data in our Bloomberg Lab, using industry standard trading floor simulation software. Grow the confidence and expertise you'll need to advise on the financial risks that businesses face and spot the investment opportunities available to them.

Kent Business School is a supportive community, where you'll work closely with your academic adviser and our world leading academic staff. We'll work with you to develop the knowledge, skills, and experience that you'll need to pursue sought-after careers in banking, investment or risk management.

The foundation year is for students whose school-leaving qualifications are below the level required. It offers one year of full-time study prior to the start of your BSc course.
