COURSE CURRICULUM

The Finance and Business Management BSc at the University of Sussex provides a solid foundation in the principles of finance, business, and economics, preparing students for advanced study and professional application. In the first year, students develop essential knowledge through core modules that cover Introduction to Business and Management, which explores organisational structures, management practices, and decision-making processes. Introduction to Economics and Introduction to Mathematics for Finance and Economics provide the quantitative and analytical tools needed to understand economic systems and financial decision-making. Principles of Finance introduces key concepts such as financial instruments, markets, and valuation, while Financial Institutions and Markets examines the structure and function of financial systems. Students also study Introduction to Accounting and Finance to understand financial reporting and analysis, and Introduction to Statistics to develop data analysis and interpretation skills relevant to business contexts. Principles of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management equips students with an understanding of how people, teams, and organisational culture influence business performance. This combination of modules ensures that students gain a balanced mix of quantitative, analytical, and managerial skills, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge to practical business problems and build a foundation for careers in finance, business management, consultancy, or related fields in both national and international contexts.
