BSc Business with Finance
About this course
Business with finance prepares graduates to operate effectively in commercial and financial environments, combining the broad strategic and operational perspective of a business degree with a focused development of financial knowledge and analytical skills. Understanding how businesses are financed, how they manage their financial resources and how financial information informs strategic decision-making is increasingly important across a very wide range of business roles, making this combination a practically useful one. Anglia Ruskin University offers this three-year full-time degree, developing core business competencies in strategy, marketing, operations, human resource management and organisational behaviour alongside the finance content covering financial management, investment appraisal, financial reporting, business finance and the use of quantitative methods in commercial decision-making. The programme develops both the conceptual frameworks that help you understand business situations and the financial analytical skills to assess performance, evaluate investment decisions and manage resources effectively. ARU's business programmes maintain a practical focus and strong connections to the regional business community in Cambridgeshire and Essex. The degree develops commercial analytical thinking, financial literacy, the ability to communicate business and financial information clearly and the teamwork, project management and presentation skills that business roles demand. It provides a foundation that is flexible enough to support a wide range of career directions rather than locking you into a narrow specialism. Graduates pursue careers in business management, financial analysis, accounting, marketing, operations, human resources and a wide range of other commercial roles across the private, public and voluntary sectors. Many also choose to pursue professional qualifications in accounting or finance alongside or after their degree, and postgraduate study in business, finance, management or MBA programmes is available for those seeking to develop further or move into senior roles.
