Course summary

Discover the financial complexities of economic analysis and explore the various motives and interactions that shape different markets. Expand your understanding of stakeholders in financial markets, exchange rate markets, stock markets, banking, financial intermediaries, cryptocurrencies, and central bank digital currencies with our Economics and Finance BSc.

The goal is to equip you with the skills to accurately assess financial environments and implement effective interventions, paving the way for a successful future career as an economist.

Our programme offers an in-depth understanding of financial economic models and tools, building your expertise in financial econometrics and business analytics, statistics with Bloomberg, international money and cryptocurrencies, and applied quantitative research. The curriculum also introduces you to some of the core subject topics including macroeconomics and microeconomics, financial and management accounting, and examines how new technology is impacting financial markets.

Practical, career-focused teaching and learning ensures that you can apply the theory you’re learning to real-world scenarios that will build your expertise and confidence. We will also get you thinking about sustainability and business ethics so when you begin work or start your own business you can be a force for good in the world.

Our built-in Professional and Academic Development Programme spans your entire degree. Designed to fully prepare you for securing a great job or starting a business, you will develop your professional skills, creativity, confidence, critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Our aim? To ensure you graduate with clear goals and impressive experiences to show future employers or investors. You’ll benefit from Keele Business School’s strong industry connections, placement or entrepreneurship opportunities, hands-on practical experiences, and invaluable real-world insights such as through our Global Challenge Pathways.

You will have access to our Bloomberg Lab, set up like a trading room, where you can gain hands-on experience using Bloomberg Professional Service, also known as the Terminal. This software is widely used in the financial industry, making skills in its use highly valued by employers. The Terminal provides privileged access to economic, financial and business real-time data, world news, analysis and reports from some of the world’s biggest financial organisations. You can also utilise the lab in your own time, to gather data for your studies and demonstrate to prospective employers that you have expanded your financial market knowledge by completing the Bloomberg Market Concepts, a free e-learning course available to Keele Business School students.

In an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. Choosing a work placement year between your second and third year is a fantastic way to gain industry experience. It can provide a valuable insight into what working in a specific area of business is like, gives you the chance to familiarise yourself with the professional working environment and develop professional contacts, and provides the opportunity to apply the theory you’ve learnt on your degree course.

Our foundation year provides an excellent alternative route to Keele, providing a unique opportunity to better prepare for your chosen degree, and with guaranteed entry onto your undergraduate course once you successfully complete your Foundation Year.
