Overview
Combine business knowledge and your managerial skill set with financial expertise to give you an advantage when you enter the competitive financial services industry. Our finance modules count towards accreditation with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Put what you've learned into practice by taking part in a live business consultancy project where you can work with established businesses, charities and third sector organisations and develop skills and experience that will make you more attractive to future employers.
This course offers the opportunity to take a ‘sandwich’ year – a year of paid employment in industry which will build your skills and experience. This is usually taken between the second and third year of your degree, typically making your course four years in total. Students who choose the sandwich route find it helps with both their studies and getting a job after graduation. It can build your confidence, contacts, and of course your CV. Leeds Beckett advertise lots of placement opportunities and provide support in helping you find the right placement for you.
Opt to take a paid work placement in the third year to develop experience and skills that employers are looking for and being to develop your professional network. We have a dedicated employability and placements office that will help you secure valuable placements at SMEs, national and global organisations including Disney and Apple. They can also help with advice and guidance on CV and letter writing, interview techniques, assessment centres and psychometric tests.
Meet high-level representatives of professional bodies and financial organisations through our guest lecture programme. Past speakers have included the Chief Economist of Yorkshire Bank and the CEO of the London Stock Exchange.
Experience the international financial markets first hand by choosing our study abroad option. Our students have had the opportunity to study at universities in Spain, Hawaii and New Zealand among many others.
Learn from our team who bring together academic and professional qualifications, industry experience, multinational backgrounds and industry connections.
We understand that full-time study does not suit everyone. That’s why we offer courses which give you the opportunity to decide where, when and how you can get involved in learning. Studying a distance learning course offers the convenience and flexibility to make education work for you. Whether you’d like to fit your studies around childcare, develop your skills while working or, quite simply, want to learn from the comfort of your own home, we can help you gain a qualification at a time and pace that suits your lifestyle.
Like our students on campus, you will have the same excellent teaching and learning resources, however you’ll find these online instead of in a lecture theatre. Not only are all the modules taught online, but you will also have access to an online community and more than 140,000 books and journals in our online library.
