About the Course
Increasingly, the business and financial sectors are looking for graduates with skills in both financial management and the information technologies key to its operation. This up-to-the-minute course combines these two fields, opening up a choice of career paths when you graduate.
Through the course, you develop core financial management skills while enhancing your knowledge of emerging information technologies and your expertise in applying them in key financial management areas.
The course has been mapped to the Certificate in Corporate Finance from the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment (CISI) along with the Certificate in Retail and Digital Banking from the London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF). Both certificates are recognised by the industry regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and the sector, certifying that holders have an advanced level of understanding of the key areas of finance and banking.
