Finance, Investment and Banking
Finance, Investment and Banking covers the three interconnected pillars of the financial system: how businesses manage their resources and report on their financial position, how capital is allocated across investment opportunities in financial markets, and how the banking system intermediates between savers and borrowers to support economic activity. Together these areas form the core of professional financial practice, and a degree that addresses all three prepares you for roles across banking, investment management, corporate finance and financial analysis.
At Teesside University this three-year online degree is designed for students who need to study at a distance, making it accessible wherever you are based. Delivered through a digital learning environment, the programme builds your knowledge of financial accounting, investment principles, banking operations, risk management and financial markets, developing both theoretical understanding and the practical analytical skills that financial employers look for. The online format demands self-direction and time management, qualities that themselves have value in a financial career, and it is designed to support students who may be managing work or other commitments alongside their studies.
Graduates from Finance, Investment and Banking degrees are well positioned for careers across the financial services sector. Many go on to roles in retail and commercial banking, investment analysis, corporate finance, fund management, financial planning and financial control. Others find positions in financial technology, insurance, accountancy practices and risk management.
The quantitative skills, financial knowledge and commercial awareness the degree develops are valued by employers across the finance industry and in adjacent sectors including property, consultancy and the public sector. For those wishing to continue their studies, the degree provides a foundation for postgraduate work in finance, banking, investment management or financial risk.
