Finance
Edinburgh is the UK's second-largest financial hub, and our links with the sector give our Finance degrees a strong industry focus. Our students build the skills required to navigate an increasingly complex global financial environment, particularly in the banking or finance divisions of national and international corporations.
Gain successful careers in Finance
Our Finance degrees are focused on graduate employability in the financial sector in its broadest sense. We offer specialist degrees responding to the rapid growth in global financial services. Our programmes are particularly suited to those seeking entry into the banking or investment management sectors, both nationally and internationally, covering a range of relevant specialist topics in finance.
Many graduates have launched successful careers in the banking and finance divisions of national and international corporations. As a result, we have good links with organisations and regularly invite industry leaders to share their professional experience with our students.
