Finance

Finance is the discipline concerned with how money is managed, invested, and allocated across time and risk. It underpins every dimension of how economies and organisations function, from the decisions individuals make about saving and borrowing through the capital structure choices of corporations to the way central banks and governments manage monetary conditions. Understanding finance means understanding how markets price assets, how risk is measured and managed, and how financial decisions affect the outcomes that individuals, firms, and societies experience.

The BSc Finance from the University of London is offered entirely online, making it accessible to students wherever they are in the world and giving you the flexibility to study around other commitments. The programme equips you with a versatile and practical understanding of financial behaviour, markets, and decision-making. You will study financial economics, corporate finance, investment and portfolio management, derivatives, financial reporting, and the quantitative methods that underpin modern financial analysis.

The online format is delivered with the academic rigour and institutional standards of the University of London, which provides the degree on behalf of its member institutions.

Graduates go on to careers in investment banking, asset management, corporate finance, financial analysis, risk management, banking, insurance, and financial consulting across the private and public sectors. The flexibility of the online programme makes it particularly suitable for people who are working in finance and want to formalise their knowledge, or for students in countries where access to London-based teaching might otherwise be difficult. Postgraduate study in finance, financial economics, or an MBA is also a natural route for those wanting to advance further.
