BA (Hons) Economics and Finance

From global events such as credit crunches to the closure of our favourite high street stores, explore the impact finance and the economy have on the world around you.

As part of your course, you’ll:

• Develop valuable analytical skills in finance and economics that will prepare you for the workplace

• Discover how financial decisions made by individuals and businesses affect consumers, workers, industry, commerce and government

• Gain a thorough understanding of financial markets and the structure of business organisations

If you take a paid work placement in your third year, you’ll develop and enhance your employability skills. Our students have enjoyed placements with Disney, Morrisons and the NHS.

Our guest lecture series will help support your development. Past speakers include the CEO of the London Stock Exchange, the Chief Executive of the British Bankers Association and the Chief Economist of Yorkshire Bank.
