Where there are gaps in your previous education we will fill those gaps, but you will also achieve the same standard of training in the core skills of finance and accounting as in any other finance with accounting degree in the UK.Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will automatically progress onto our three-year, full-time evening study BSc Finance with Accounting or onto one of our other Economics programmes: BSc Economics, BSc Economics and Business, BSc Economics and Social Policy, or BSc Financial Economics. You need only complete one application and you enrol onto one programme.We also offer part-time Foundation Year degrees which allow you to spread out your Foundation Year studies over two years. As the 'Foundation Year' is made up of 120 credits, as a part-time student you can take 60 credits in each of your first and second years before starting the main four-year BSc Finance with Accounting. This means that you can take six years to complete the part-time degree with Foundation Year.**HIGHLIGHTS**- Our Foundation Year programmes will fully prepare you for undergraduate study and are ideal if you returning to study after a gap, if you have not previously studied the relevant subjects, or if you didn't achieve the grades you needed for a place on your chosen undergraduate degree.- The Department of Economics, Mathematics and Statistics brings together research and teaching in economics, finance, mathematics and statistics in a single department which creates significant interdisciplinary synergies.- We have an excellent reputation for the quality of our teaching, providing training for employers such as the Treasury and the Bank of England.- You will be taught by academics who are professional practitioners in the world of economics and international finance, and who provide specialist advice and in-house training for government departments and City firms and banks.- The research of our academics, many of whom are recognised as world-class experts in their fields, feeds directly into our teaching programmes.
