Business with Finance

Overview

Fitting alongside the other business pathways, the Business with Finance programme at the University of Essex Online also allows you to develop more general skills that will assist in other areas of your personal and professional life, such as communication, time management and innovative thinking.

Your core modules will form the foundation of your study, as you explore:

• the main principles and practices of contemporary management and organisational behaviour

• financial decision-making in the short and long term

• micro- and macro-economics and their relevance to managerial decision-making

• project management methodology and environments

• business strategy and strategic management

• the framework of accounting and preparation of financial statements

You will also have the chance to select some optional modules, on topics such as leadership, marketing strategy and human resource management.

Once you have completed your course, you have the opportunity to advance onto a full degree in business with finance.

Your future

Companies seek out candidates with the most advanced skills to fill senior positions, and a postgraduate qualification is an excellent way to showcase that you possess those abilities. 

This course is designed for those seeking employment in a high-level financial role, however roles within business management, banking, insurance, accountancy, marketing, sales, retail and human resources would also greatly benefit from the knowledge gained through this course.
