Program Description

Successful completing of the Finance and Investment BSc can help you gain the skills and confidence to offer sound financial advice that could change someone’s future.

Currently recognised by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) and the Chartered Financial Analyst Society of the UK (CFA UK) and offering exemptions from certain exams set by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), this specialist course will suit those who intend to pursue a potential future career in the financial services sector, in areas such as investment advice, insurance, pensions, and wealth management.

By studying this course, you will also have the opportunity to undertake the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) professional qualification, the Investment Advice Diploma, whilst studying towards your potential degree – with previous students on this course receiving a study guide towards the exam as part of the course. Upon successful completion, this qualification can help to further your employability, as well as setting you up to progress to further higher-level qualifications in the CISI’s UK wealth management study pathway.
