You will study six core modules which will provide the necessary mathematical and statistical skills that you will need for your main degree while also introducing you to ideas in the financial and economic world where you will be applying your skills. You will develop your analytical and critical thinking skills which you can apply within the Foundation Year and your subsequent study.
