Students who study finance will look at the immediate, short term and long term elements of the financial world. Students will first understand key criteria such as saving, borrowing, budgeting and financial providers such as banks and building societies before they critically analyse and evaluate how as a society, we can become more sustainable and secure with our money. Students should leave at the end of Year 13 with a well-rounded knowledge of how to manage their own money and how to choose an appropriate financial product to meet their needs. Past students have commented on how they were in a much better position to look after themselves financially, whether budgeting whilst at University, saving up to move out of home, or just knowing how best to save money, due to what they had learnt on this course.
