Yates STUDENT
I chose Economics and Finance as my first choice because I wanted a course that was more specific than most business courses, yet allowed me to keep my options open. I think this degree offers the perfect balance between maths,
statistics, economics and finance. Te small class size was also something which appealed to me. You meet like-minded people with common goals. It’s a hugely respected degree in the corporate world, which offers great career prospects in the finance and accounting professions, and I couldn’t speak more highly of it.
KEY FAC T The BSc Economics and Finance is a specialist programme with a small intake of students. Graduates are highly regarded and sought after by employers.
