International Finance and Management

Entry requirements

You are expected to have at least a second class honours degree from a UK or overseas university (or equivalent). Mature professionals with managerial experience may also be considered for the course.

Additional requirement information

It's not essential to have studied business or management as part of your undergraduate degree. Our students come from various academic disciplines to study the programme such as humanities, sciences, sports or technology related fields.

If you have not studied business management or finance before, don't fear: you'll study a module on the 'Fundamental Principles of Business, Management and Finance' as part of the degree.

If you are a mature student with relevant managerial experience, but without an undergraduate degree, you will still be considered for the programme. All applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
