The First Year introduces general business and finance agendas, including economics, quantitative methods, and ethics. The Second Year explores employability and the business life cycle. The Final Year focuses on areas such as banking, current issues, and global finance and markets. You can also choose from several specialist options. This course offers potential exemptions from the professional qualifications of the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT).
