The University of East Anglia (UK) announced the introduction of a new BSc (Hons) International Finance (Final Year Entry) programme, designed for international students seeking to advance their skills in global finance. The one-year course will begin in September 2025 and will be delivered in UEA’s School of Economics.
This new degree blends financial theory with real-world applications, as per the University of East Anglia. The course will prepare students to navigate the complexities of multinational business operations, global trade, and financial markets. The proposed curriculum covers a range of critical topics, including corporate finance, quantitative analysis, behavioural finance, and international trade, ensuring graduates develop a strong foundation in both technical skills and strategic decision-making.
With a focus on employability, students will benefit from a curriculum enriched with practical applications, guest lectures by industry experts, networking opportunities, workshops, and access to nationwide competitions, paid internships, and mentoring schemes. Additionally, the STEPS (Skills, Training, Employability, Progression, and Support) module ensures dedicated academic and career guidance, enhancing students’ professional development and readiness for the job market.
Bahar Ghezelayagh, Associate Professor in Financial Economics, while commenting on the launch said, “The BSc in International Finance at University of East Anglia is a gateway to limitless global opportunities. Designed for ambitious individuals aiming for careers in investment banking, financial consulting, and policy advisory, our course blends academic excellence with real-world industry insights. There is now an ever-increasing demand for graduates who can unravel the complexity of how multinational enterprises work. Take for example the Big Tech companies in India who specialize in information technology services who are now operating in many European countries, as well as in Australia and the US. How do such companies hedge against global risks? What drives globalisation, and is globalisation a blessing or a curse? We are committed to shaping future leaders who will thrive in the fast-paced world of global finance, multinational firms.”
