Awarded by:
Queen Mary, University of London

Course summary

The relationships between financial systems, economies, and society are more complex than ever. Join us to explore financial topics such as asset pricing and corporate finance, alongside applied economics.

We’re carrying out leading research in finance: bond and foreign exchange, financial derivatives, portfolio management, and much more. By joining our community, you’ll hear the latest insights and become part of conversations about how the industry is changing.

Industry immersion from day one

Immersing you in the financial world is important to us. Our Banking and Finance Society, the Economics Society, and the Trading and Investment Society organise academic and social events for students. You’ll be the first to hear about opportunities to network and make invaluable connections.

We’re one of the few UK universities to offer training and access to Bloomberg trading terminals, as well as an Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation (TWS) and FXCM FX Trading Station. All of this means you can apply your skills to analyse real-time financial market data. From corporate strategy to technology management, whatever area interests you, we’ll help you get ready for career success.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
