Finance

About this course

Finance as an academic discipline examines how individuals, organisations and markets allocate resources across time and under conditions of uncertainty. It draws on economics, mathematics and statistics to build models of investment decisions, asset pricing, risk management and financial markets, and it connects those models to the real-world institutions and instruments through which capital flows in the modern economy. Durham University offers this finance degree with an optional foundation year at the outset, which allows students who need additional grounding in mathematics, quantitative methods or academic study skills to prepare thoroughly before the main degree begins. From there the full-time programme runs to completion, covering core areas of financial theory alongside quantitative methods, corporate finance, investment analysis and the operation of financial markets.
