Undergraduate Courses at a Finance University
However, studying at a specialist finance university gives students the best possible opportunity to receive industry-standard teaching both on a theoretical and practical basis.
Studying at a specialist finance university enables undergraduates to be fully prepared with the key skills that will maximise career prospects. London’s specialist business school, Cass Business School is a prime example of an institution which provides a learning environment and an undergraduate programme closely linked to the industry with professional placements and the opportunity to study abroad.
Such institutions set rigorous entry requirements, as students fortunate enough to enrol on such a course will have a significant edge over those who study a business or finance course at a university that specialises in other areas. Meanwhile students with particularly strong academic grades from across the UK, European Union and on a global scale are often eligible for scholarships and bursaries that can provide a significant financial boost in the first year of study.
A host of courses at specialist finance universities (http://www.cass.city.ac.uk) cater for short-term internships and even year-long professional placements that enable students to gain professional experience that is valued by graduate employers. Some students impress sufficiently on their placement to be offered a permanent contract at the end of their studies.
London finance universities also benefit from being able to boast a lively and friendly social scene which makes student life significantly more comfortable when moving away from home to a metropolitan campus. With well-oiled student unions and societies it provides the complete student experience making it the best possible investment for future employment.
