About this course

Finance and management is a combination that gives you both the quantitative analytical tools of financial theory and the broader strategic and organisational frameworks needed to lead and run businesses effectively. Finance equips you to understand how capital markets work, how firms are valued, how risk is managed, and how financial decisions affect organisational performance. Management brings in strategy, organisational behaviour, human resources, and operations, providing the context within which financial decisions are made and the skills to put them into practice.

Together they form a particularly versatile preparation for careers across the business world.

At the University of East Anglia, this three-year full-time programme combines both disciplines in a curriculum that develops your analytical and practical capabilities in parallel. You will study corporate finance, investment theory, financial accounting, and quantitative methods alongside strategic management, organisational theory, marketing, and operations, developing the ability to think clearly about both the numbers and the people that determine how organisations perform. UEA's business school has a strong research tradition, and the programme benefits from the close connections between teaching and active scholarship.

A typical entry tariff of 136 points reflects the programme's competitive but accessible positioning.

Graduates of finance and management programmes are well placed for roles across banking, consulting, corporate finance, business development, operations management, and general management in the private and public sectors. The combination of financial and organisational understanding is valued by a wide range of employers, and the degree provides a strong foundation for professional qualifications in accounting, finance, and management. Further study at master's level in finance, business administration, or management is a common route for those who want to develop specialist expertise or move into more senior roles.

The degree is equally well suited to those with entrepreneurial ambitions and those who want to work within larger organisations.

A great decision
The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: the accounting and finance streams are taught by practitioners, not just academics. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city…
