Degree Overview

This Finance and Investment BSc course provides a rigorous academic approach to finance with a focus on practical skills and employability.

The innovative modules of this course will introduce you to new methodologies – such as Artificial Intelligence and Financial Applications, where you will gain hands-on experience of using, evaluating, and even developing your own AI applications, to solve real-life problems. DMU’s Trading Room – one of the largest in a UK university – will give you a simulated experience on industry-standard software that is used by decision-makers in practice. The programme is also structured to address many of the competence requirements of professional finance bodies
