teaching and assessment
All students studying for the BFin and the BIFin degrees take a common set of modules in Level 1.
Our programmes are delivered using a variety of lectures, seminars, workshops, tutorials, projects and hands-on computer labs. Assessment is by a mixture of coursework (for example an essay), computer labs, projects based on group assignments and exams.
The weightings allocated to assessed coursework and the final examination vary from module to module. Typically 80% is allocated to the final exam but this is less in some modules and more in others.
In Level 1 and 2 of the BFin and the BIFin, three subjects are delivered per semester, each having approximately 5 hours of classes. Consequently, there is approximately 15 hours of contact time from Monday to Friday of each week. We expect students to undertake an additional 20 hours of individual study per week to prepare for classes and revise material covered in lectures or tutorials.

what our graduates are doing Gareth Gettinby graduated from BFin Finance in 2000. He has been working as a Research Analyst on the strategy team at Standard Life. He says: The BFin degree gave me a great foundation to the investment exams that I have successfully undertaken, for example the Investment Management Certificate (IMC). Overall the course is great! It covers such a diversity and range of topics that will equip any student wishing to pursue a career in investments.
