Licencjat w Ekonomii, Finansach i Bankowości BSc (Econ) (z wyróżnieniem)

Prepare for a career in the well-paid and fast-moving sectors of banking, finance and risk management with this BSc in Economics, Finance and Banking degree.

Economics is the study of how societies produce, distribute, and consume goods and services. Finance examines financial systems and how money moves around, including banks, loans and investments.

With this degree, you'll learn all the core economic theories you need to be an economist, using real, topical data from organisations such as HSBC, Barclays, the Bank of England and the UK Government's annual budget. You'll also learn how finance systems work, including:

• futures, forwards, swaps, and options markets
• monetary policy and financial regulation
• portfolio management and stock selection
• contemporary issues in finance and banking
• behavioural finance and the psychology of investment

After your second year, you can apply this knowledge on an optional paid placement. Previous students have worked at places like Lloyds Bank, Santander and BMW.
