Finance with a Foundation Year (Hons) University of Kent

Overview

Finance is about making decisions when the answer isn’t obvious.

What is something worth? How much risk should you take? Where should capital go next? And what happens when markets change?

At Kent, you’ll learn how individuals, businesses and financial institutions answer those questions. Explore financial markets, corporate finance, investment, banking and risk, then put your knowledge to work using real-world financial data, statistical techniques and programming tools.

You’ll also look at how finance itself is changing – from AI and digital technologies to regulation, sustainability and responsible investment – and learn to judge both the opportunities and the risks they create.

By graduation, you’ll be ready to analyse complex information, weigh different outcomes and make confident, evidence-based financial decisions – whether your future lies in markets, banking, investment, risk, corporate finance or beyond.

Foundation Year

The foundation year is for students whose school-leaving qualifications are below the level required. It offers one year of full-time study prior to the start of your BSc course.
