Course Description

Expand your mathematical knowledge, gain practical experience, and help prepare for a professional career with our BSc Mathematics with Finance and Investment Banking with International Foundation Year degree.

This programme is designed for international students. If you want to study maths and finance at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BSc Mathematics with Finance and Investment Banking with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate mathematics and finance degree.

You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BSc Mathematics with Finance and Investment Banking degree. This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.

The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.

This programme will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught masters degrees.
