You will also be well-placed to pursue careers in economic consultancy, government departments or market regulators, as well as specialist postgraduate studies.
Today's financial sector relies heavily on data analysis. The course provides rigorous training in all areas of finance with a focus on the quantitative skills that are required in every aspect of real-world decision-making.
The degree is among the first in the UK to contain coverage of new and disruptive forms of finance at undergraduate level, including cryptocurrencies, FinTech, Big Data analysis, smart beta investing, peer-to-peer lending or high-frequency trading.
You will learn to relate concepts and theories to financial practice through the use of specialist industry newspapers, including the Dow Jones Financial News and data vendors such as Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters Eikon and Refinitiv.
Through core units and a choice of optional units, you will gain exposure to the related fields of economics, accounting, management and business law.
Course Structure:
The first year of study will consider finance in a mostly non-technical way, while providing training in the quantitative subjects that later modules will build upon. You will also study accounting and economics units.
In the second year, you will deepen your understanding of the theory, evidence and statistical methods relevant to different areas of finance. You will learn to extract, process and combine the extremely diverse data used in financial decision-making in a dedicated unit.
According to your preferences and career ambitions, you will also be able to further your understanding of economics and accounting, building on first-year units, and to develop your knowledge of management or business law.
The final year will feature the most finance content (both via core and optional units) along with advanced options in economics, accounting or management, according to your professional goals. An innovative Digital Finance unit will provide insights into new and disruptive forms of capital raising, trading and new assets and investment strategies.
Bristol is one of the most popular and successful universities in the UK, ranked 55th in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2024.
Before the University of Bristol, there was University College, Bristol
University College, Bristol existed from 1876 to 1909 and was the precursor to the University of Bristol.
Its history can be traced back to the efforts of John Percival, headmaster of Clifton College, to press for the establishment of such an institution. In 1872, Percival wrote to the Oxford colleges observing that the provinces lacked a university culture.
The following year he produced a pamphlet called 'The Connection of the Universities and the Great Towns', which was well received by Benjamin Jowett, Master of Balliol College, Oxford. Jowett was to become a significant figure, both philosophically and financially, in the establishment of University College, Bristol.
In June 1874, a meeting took place at Bristol's Victoria Rooms 'to promote a School of Science and Literature for the West of England'. Percival and Jowett spoke at the meeting, and won the support of Albert Fry and Lewis Fry, members of an influential and affluent local family.
