Overview
Financial Economics and Banking with a Foundation Year is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Economics is assessed through coursework and group work more than examinations, and most departments run a consultancy or company project in the final stage.
Tuition ranges from £22,200 to £26,550 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
