Business And Finance

Business and finance together offer a comprehensive understanding of how organisations are built, managed, and funded. Business as a discipline examines strategy, operations, human behaviour in organisations, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Finance focuses more tightly on the management of money: how capital is raised and allocated, how financial risk is measured and controlled, and how the decisions of firms and investors interact with the wider economy.

Combining the two equips you with a range of analytical and practical tools that are genuinely useful across a wide variety of graduate roles.

At Edge Hill, this degree is built around the dual aspiration the course description captures well: whether you want to start and manage your own business or move into investment banking and financial consulting, the programme develops both business operation and financial management skills. You will study the core domains of management and finance, developing quantitative ability alongside strategic and organisational thinking. The course includes a sandwich placement year and a year abroad, both of which give you professional and cultural experience that deepens the learning you do in the classroom.

Work placements are embedded throughout the programme. The degree runs over three years full-time and the typical entry tariff is 104 points.

Graduates of business and finance programmes are well placed for careers in banking and financial services, corporate finance, management consultancy, accounting, entrepreneurship, and business analysis. The versatility of the degree reflects the breadth of skills it develops, and many graduates move across sectors during their careers. Postgraduate study in finance, business, or a related area such as accountancy or supply chain management is a natural next step for those who want to specialise or accelerate their professional development.
