BSc Finance with Economics
About this course
Finance with economics brings together the principles of financial analysis and investment with the broader economic frameworks that explain how markets, organisations and economies function. Finance examines how capital is raised, deployed and managed: the valuation of assets, the management of financial risk, corporate financing decisions, and the operation of financial markets and institutions. Economics provides the analytical tools to understand the macroeconomic environment within which those decisions are made, including how fiscal and monetary policy, trade, growth and market structure shape the conditions that financial practitioners face. The combination develops both the technical financial skills and the economic understanding that modern financial careers require. At Anglia Ruskin University you will study finance with economics over three years of full-time study, developing skills in data analytics, financial modelling and economic forecasting alongside conceptual understanding of financial markets and economic theory. The programme is designed to give you a dual perspective that allows you to think both within specific financial contexts and about the broader economic forces that shape them. The typical tariff of 88 reflects a programme that is accessible to students from a range of educational backgrounds who have the motivation and quantitative aptitude to succeed in two analytically demanding disciplines. Graduates are well placed for careers in financial analysis, investment research, corporate finance, economic consulting, risk management, banking, the civil service and financial regulation. Many pursue professional qualifications in finance or economics, including CFA charterholder programmes, and the degree provides a solid foundation for postgraduate study in finance, financial economics or economics. The combination of data analytics, financial modelling and economic understanding is valued in roles that require working with market data, building forecasting models and communicating financial and economic insights to decision-makers across a range of organisations.
