BA (Hons) Business with Finance will develop you intellectually and prepare you for a successful career in business and finance related roles in a variety of industries, particularly in the small business sector.
You will study a carefully crafted portfolio of modules, which have been selected to provide you with all the knowledge and skills to launch your career in finance related roles. Built on years of providing excellent business education, Business with Finance will build your awareness of contemporary business issues, strategic decision making, fundamentals of management and academic research methods.
Foundation Year
The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the interest and ability to study for a degree, but do not have the qualifications to enter directly onto the Business with Finance honours degree programme yet.
Once you pass the Foundation Year (level 3) you will progress directly onto the first year of the honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria).
You will study vital business principles, such as digital business intelligence, organisational behaviour and strategic management, while taking a financial pathway, which includes investment and finance management, financial risk management and corporate business finance.
Moreover, if you currently hold a HND or Foundation degree and wish to continue studying to achieve a full BA (Hons) degree, you can apply to join this degree in the final year.

Liverpool Business School has historically had an excellent employment record with graduates securing graduate-level positions with leading employers in public and private sectors. These include Everton Football Club, Kellogg company, Santander and Deloitte. In the last Destination of Leavers in HE survey (2016/17 data), 95.2% of our graduates had secured employment or were in further study within 6 months of graduating.
This degree will open up a huge range of potential careers because the success or failure of an organisation is ultimately determined by its financial performance. You will have the option to extend your studies to four years, with the third year spent on work placement. You will receive support and advice from the Business School's Employability Support Unit when looking for a placement opportunity, including presentations from employers offering placement schemes, a dedicated placement fair, and opportunities to apply for paid internships with leading local, national and international firms.
The first year provides you with a solid foundation of business and finance knowledge before leading to more financially focused modules in the second and third years of study. This provides you with the skills to enter a wide range of careers.
