BSc Finance and Management with a Year in Industry
About this course
Finance and management is a combination built for students who want to understand organisations both numerically and strategically. Finance equips you with the analytical tools to assess how businesses create and deploy capital, how risk is measured and managed, and how financial markets connect firms to investors and lenders. Management broadens that picture, asking how organisations are led, how strategy is formed, and how the human, operational, and competitive dimensions of business interact. Together they produce a graduate who can think rigorously about financial questions without losing sight of the organisational context in which those questions arise. At the University of East Anglia, this four-year full-time programme includes a year in industry, meaning you will spend time working in a relevant organisation as part of your degree. The industry year is a substantial and formative part of the programme: you will apply your academic learning in a professional context, develop your commercial understanding, and build the professional relationships and CV experience that employers value. UEA's business school provides a rigorous academic environment with strong research connections, and the programme's typical entry tariff of 120 points reflects its academic expectations. You will study financial analysis, corporate finance, investment and portfolio management, organisational behaviour, marketing strategy, and business economics, developing a rounded understanding of how businesses work alongside the technical financial skills needed to analyse them. Graduates are well placed for careers in financial services, corporate finance, management consultancy, banking, investment management, and commercial management. Many go on to pursue professional qualifications in accountancy, finance, or banking after graduation, for which a finance degree provides excellent preparation. The year in industry experience is a significant advantage in the graduate job market, and many students receive offers from their placement employer on graduation. Postgraduate study in finance, management, or business is also available for those who want to specialise further or move into research and teaching.
