Finance and Management with Industrial Placement

Overview

Financial managers cover everything from strategic analysis to the collection and preparation of accounts and financial reporting. A good financial manager must be extremely proficient in the complex systems and processes of the industry whilst also being able to delegate effectively and lead a team.

The Finance and Management with Industrial Placement programme from Kent Business School is delivered by published academics and co-developed by industry leaders. It equips students with a comprehensive framework of financial theory and the practical processes required for the sector, fused with an overview of management studies. Our graduates are ready-made robust managers who can spot errors, make decisions, analyse risk and lead a team effectively.

Taking a 12-month industrial placement allows you to gain work experience in the UK or overseas as part of your Master's. While the placements are self-sought, the School offers support through extra-curricular engagement with our dedicated placements team. Opting for this course with a placement takes the length of your course to up to two years.
