The BSc International Finance Top Up equips international students with the knowledge, language and practical skills required to operate effectively in economies where there is strong demand for international trade and finance. This highly practical programme focuses on contemporary issues in international banking and trading goods globally, and the efficiency of international trade and finance arrangements. There is a strong focus on English language skills throughout the programme, with scaffolded support for language development and opportunities to apply theoretical learning in practical activities. As a one-year top-up programme aimed at international students with a slightly lower IELTS score 5.5, the BSc International Finance programme has been designed with 40 credits in English language (Academic Conventions for Business EDU3062) and 80 credits in Finance. In order to meet the requirements of the QAA Finance Benchmark Statement and Level 6 of UK FHEQ, all the modules are incorporated theoretical considerations and practical applications of a wide range of finance concepts and topics, relating theory to practice, in an international context. Students who join the programme will learn and develop knowledge and skills related to the operations of the financial systems, the constituents and structures of the financial markets and the interaction between those constituents and their behaviours. Thus, not only do the students study the technical knowledge and skills related to financial assets, financial instruments and risk management, but they also develop strong critical awareness for social, ethical, sustainability and regulatory issues encompassed in the financial activities and systems.
