    Course Summary

    The BSc in Banking and Finance from Brunel London University is a new course, designed to turn out the kind of highly skilled, ambitious and talented graduates the banking and finance industries demand. This is a rapidly growing field, and one which struggles to recruit all of the fast-track eligible new hired it needs.

    You’ll learn about the economics behind finance and banking on both the theoretical and practical levels. You’ll come to understand how investors’ decisions impact financial markets and vice-versa. You’ll also become familiar with the details of financial regulation and real estate finance in particular.

    Lastly, this degree can be taken as a 4 year ‘thick sandwich’ program which includes a year in an industry placement. These are often paid positions, and can make a huge difference to your ability to win the most desirable roles after you graduate. Many students are invited to return to responsible roles with their placement employers after graduation.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
