Course Description

Sharpen your knowledge of economics and finance, and gain a deep insight into the financial services sector as you learn to interpret trends, identify market risks and assess public policy.

If you have some knowledge of statistics or quantitative methods our Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment (CISI) recognised course will help you to open doors to ambitious roles in the finance, banking, business and public sectors.

Rather than specialising in just one area, we’ll make sure you gain an in depth overview of economics, finance and banking, and you’ll graduate with a diverse and transferrable skill set.
