Modules

In the first year, the curriculum is shared across related courses allowing you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline before going on, in the second and third years, to specialist modules in your chosen field.  The common first year enables you to work alongside students doing similar courses to you, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn.    If you discover an interest in a specific subject you have studied, upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements).     Common first year courses Banking and Finance BSc (Hons)  Business and Finance BSc (Hons)  Business Economics BSc (Hons) Economics BSc (Hons)  Finance and Investment BSc (Hons)  Financial Planning and Wealth Management BSc (Hons) Modules Principles of Economics - 30 Credits Principles of Finance - 30 Credits Quantitative and Academic Skills - 30 Credits Ethics, Sustainability and Entrepreneurship - 30 Credits Year Two Applied Econometrics and Research Skills - 30 Credits Intermediate Microeconomics - 30 Credits Intermediate Macroeconomics - 30 Credits Economics of Banking and FInancial Markets - 30 Credits Placement Year There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement* can often be beneficial.
