International Business Finance (Top Up Degree), BSc (Hons)

About

Please note: This course is for international students only.
For UK students, see our other business and finance degrees. The BSc International Business Finance (Top Up Degree) is intended as a flexible programme in the field of finance and business management. As a one-year top-up degree, this offers core elements from our Business and Finance undergraduate degrees but with bespoke elements specifically tailored for this programme. The curriculum combines business modules relevant to finance, such as project management, with finance-focused modules like Corporate Finance, and International Investment: Assets; Bonds and Equities. This structure ensures that international students benefit from studying a comprehensive range of subjects that enhance their cross-cultural understanding and preparation for the global business environment. The degree is intended for overseas applicants with the equivalent of an HND qualification in their home country, offering a fast-track route to study in the UK and progression to postgraduate studies. For domestic students from non-traditional academic backgrounds seeking a route into higher education and a means to consolidate their experience and learning, we recommend the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) route granting direct entry to the second or final year of an existing Undergraduate programme.
