2.5-Term Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Finance

Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at City, University of London.

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Finance

City's three degrees in finance (Finance, Banking and International Finance, and Investment and Financial Risk Management) provide detailed knowledge of how financial markets work, how companies make investment, financing and acquisition decisions and how modern banks operate.

This course will sharpen students' understanding of the broad disciplines involved, from corporate finance to asset pricing, international finance to corporate governance. Throughout their studies, students will focus on quantitative methods, enabling them to understand the cutting-edge techniques in use today. In the second half of the finance degree, core modules allow students to create a bespoke degree that matches their own interests. As a result, students will gain a good understanding of financial markets, its activities, and its products.
