UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.

The aim of the programme is to prepare you for effective roles in the financial industry, the national and international scope of which is extensive.

Graduates typically place in a financial company but will also have opportunities at finance departments of non-financial companies. In both cases, roles are likely to be of a generalist nature with broader remits versus highly specialised roles with intense data exposure. 

Typical job titles will be Financial Analyst or Corporate Analyst at commercial or investment banks, but graduates will also have ample opportunities at mutual funds, hedge funds, and other financial firms.
