Bachelor of Science - Banking and Finance

The Brunel Banking and Finance BSc provides students with the knowledge, skills and insights needed to effectively pursue careers in banking and financial services. Students get a solid grounding in micro and macroeconomic principles, accounting practices and the workings of financial markets before studying advanced topics including real estate finance, financial regulation, risk management and how banking and financial systems operate in an international context. Students also gain insight into the dynamic relationship between investors, financial markets and the institutions that enable transactions between the two. Students will study econometrics and develop highly valued skills in data modelling, and get training in analytical packages widely used by business and financial institutions such as Bloomberg, Reuters, SAS, EViews and STATA. Brunel offers two study options. Students can choose three years full-time or four years full-time with a one-year professional placement between years two and three that will give them the chance to apply the theoretical principles they’ve learned to a working environment. Students can tailor the final year of their course to specialise in an area of particular interest. Due to globalisation, banking and finance have become growth sectors for graduate vacancies. The specialised skills and training graduates gain from their Brunel BSc will make them a preferred job candidate to employers across the industry.
