About this course

The course takes 12 months to complete. You'll study personal finance, banking, investment, and how financial markets work.

Who this course is for

Fancy a career in money? Perhaps you like the idea of working in Banking or Accountancy. Or do you dream of making a killing on the stock market? Then this course could be for you. But if you simply want to know how to make better decisions with your money. To understand what APR means and how to check the tax taken from your wages, then this is definitely the course for you! Should students be interested in studying in London at the LIBF's own University then scholarships are available for suitable candidates. Other Universities also offer courses in Banking, Finance and Investment management which can lead to well-paid careers in the financial services sector. Alternatively, many careers follow the apprenticeship route with specialised training taking place alongside your paid employment.
