Economics and Finance with a Year in Industry and Integrated Foundation Year (September start)

Economics and finance are complex, fast-paced, and exciting. This course is for ambitious minds who want to get immersed.

Economics and Finance are at the heart of what we see on the news, whether that’s the impact of financial markets, soaring interest rates or challenges around global trade. Studying with us, you’ll look at the economy as a whole, but you’ll analyse the behaviour and motivations of individuals and companies too.

You’ll be immersed in industry from day one. Our academics will share how their research is informing policy and public debate. Step off campus and you’ll be near London’s financial centres, the City and Canary Wharf.  We’re also connected to leaders within the Bank of England, HM Treasury, and other financial institutions and professional bodies.

You can also register for the Investment Management Certificate exam to achieve an additional professional qualification highly valued by employers.

Success starts here

You’ll have access to real-life data with our Bloomberg trading terminals. You’ll also use an Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation (TWS) and FXCM FX Trading Station to analyse real-time financial market data and the relationships between economic variables.
