Finance

About this course

Finance as a discipline addresses one of the most fundamental activities in a market economy: the allocation of capital. It examines how individuals, corporations and governments raise, invest and manage money, how financial markets price risk and uncertainty, and what the theory of finance tells us about optimal decision-making in the face of incomplete information. Finance graduates are among the most sought-after in the graduate labour market, with the quantitative and analytical skills they develop applicable across an exceptionally wide range of professional contexts. At Aston University, which has a strong reputation for professionally oriented business education, this four-year programme includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study finance in an international academic environment and develop the global perspective that is increasingly important in financial careers
