Course summary

Our BSc Business Management and Finance provides an excellent basis for a rewarding career in the financial and broader business sector. You will develop the key competencies required of financial managers, enabling you to work in a wide range of private, public and third-sector organisations, ready to adapt rapidly to change. It is designed for students who are interested in finance but who do not want to take a full Accounting and Finance degree. Our programme is designed specifically to make you a confident, independent thinker with detailed knowledge of management and finance and the ability to analyse financial markets and predict financial performance. Our academic staff have extensive experience of business and they will support you to connect your learning to the realities of business, management and finance. You will be supported by your Academic Guidance Tutor, who will help to guide your learning and career development. You will also have access to our extensive range of employability events. In preparation for your future career, you will develop a range of skills that employers value: the ability to identify and solve business problems and to effectively communicate your ideas. Taught on our south-west London campus, on this degree you will have access to many opportunities for work experience through our Careers Team, and access to face-to-face and 24/7 online careers support, whether you choose to live on campus or commute to us. This course offers all students the option of a one-year paid work placement, to boost your employability even further. If you choose this route, you will take the placement following year two of your course, and then return to complete your degree. A placement year is the perfect opportunity to gain valuable work experience, to build on the career skills we will teach you on this degree. The connections you make on the placement will improve your career prospects further, and equip you with the skills you need to secure graduate-level employment. Key features:

• Provides the option of a one year work placement

• Taught on campus on the same two days per week, to fit around your work, family or other commitments
