About 2.5-Term Pathway - International Year One in Business - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Banking and Finance (Placement Year)
Program Description
For students that completed high school with good grades but don’t qualify for entry to an undergraduate degree, they could study an International Year One, which combines university preparation with degree 1st year. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
Students’ course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. If the course is longer than 2 terms, they’ll take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Banking and Finance
BSc Banking and Finance combines academic rigor with practical financial skills to meet the needs of demanding careers in banking and finance. Students have access to real-world Bloomberg Market Data Feed (B-PIPE), information and analytics in the virtual trading floor, where they can practice trading and analyzing financial data.
Students explore topics including:
- why banks exist and how they operate in the modern economy
- current issues in modern banking
- banking sector regulation
- the global financial system
- the role of the investor, analyst, academic and policy maker
The first year ensures students experience a fully-rounded business education by introducing them to topics such as accounting, management, marketing and economics.
In the final year, students have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice by completing an in-depth, independent research project or dissertation. This will give them the chance to further develop vital employability skills in areas of research, time management and critical thinking.
Essex is one of just three UK universities to have received Q-Step Affiliate status, including for its BSc Banking and Finance, to support the way it develops the quantitative skills of its graduates.
