Understanding the principles and practices of financial management enables an aspiring or developing manager to make better quality decisions, enabling potential for improved personal and organisational performance. This course develops an in-depth understanding of the financial tools, techniques and controls available, and the ability to apply this understanding in the workplace. This course will introduce students to financial tools and techniques that will enhance their financial knowledge. At the University of Chester, students will combine academic study with workplace application, so they will get many opportunities to understand how to manage, and make management decisions.

Extensive use of case studies will give students the chance to develop valuable skills and understanding that will provide them with a strategic appreciation of the many facets of financial management. Tutors encourage discussion in class, so that students can gradually learn to form, express and defend their own opinions.

Guest speakers from industry are also invited into class to share their experience with students, enabling them to appreciate the real-world application of academic theory. In association with the course, there are opportunities for students to apply for an internship.
