COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc Finance (Sustainable Finance) degree at Henley Business School provides a comprehensive grounding in financial theory while placing strong emphasis on environmental responsibility, ethics, and long-term sustainability. In the early stages, you study core financial principles through modules such as introductory securities and markets, finance simulations, economics, quantitative techniques, and accounting, which build your understanding of how financial systems operate and how businesses make decisions under uncertainty. You also develop awareness of ethical issues in investment management and the importance of responsible financial behaviour. As you progress, you explore advanced topics including corporate finance, portfolio management, financial modelling, and risk management, allowing you to understand how investment decisions are made and how financial risks are assessed and controlled. A key feature of the programme is its focus on sustainability, with dedicated modules such as Climate Change and Finance and Sustainable Finance, where you examine ESG factors, international regulations, and the role of finance in addressing global environmental challenges. You also study broader societal themes through modules like social enterprise and corporate social responsibility, which highlight how business can contribute to solving global issues such as inequality and climate change. The course prepares you for careers in sustainable investment, banking, consultancy, and financial services, combining technical financial expertise with a strong ethical and environmental perspective.
