The BSc (Hons) Business with Finance pathway provides a foundation in business, economics, accounting and quantitative study, preparing students for progression into undergraduate business education.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will be able to explain fundamental concepts in business, economics and accounting and apply appropriate mathematical techniques to basic business-related problems. They will be able to interpret and communicate academic information using clearer, more structured approaches to written work and study.
