Undergraduate

BSc Banking and Finance

How you study

Studying as an External student offers you maximum flexibility in planning your studies; you can study at a time and place to suit yourself using the introductory study materials provided by the University as the starting point. These have been specifically commissioned and written by academics of the University with the needs of independent learners in mind.

Although you may study independently, you may wish to network with other registered students to plan a mutually supportive study programme. In a growing number of countries there are institutions which offer a range of full-time, part-time, correspondence or online tuition. A range of other study opportunities, and support such as weekend courses or summer schools may also be available.

Study material is included in the Initial Registration Fee therefore when you first register as an External student for the BSc Banking and Finance, you will receive:

·         Studying for a Degree in the Humanities and Social Sciences by P. Dunleavy (Macmillan)

·         a Student handbook

·         subject guides for the first units to be studied

·         past examination papers and Examiners' reports

·         an IOLIS: CD-ROM (for certain legal units)

·         a copy of the Regulations

·         access to the University of London Online Library with a comprehensive selection of links to relevant materials.

Each year you continue to register as an External student, you will receive an updated Handbook; the relevant course pack for any additional courses you begin studying; any sample/past examination papers and reports not previously received.

A note about textbooks: In addition to the materials provided, you will be advised to buy some books, and others you will need to refer to in a library. As far as possible, you should consider the facilities available locally to you, and how accessible books are likely to be before registering as an External student.

 

 

This provides an opportunity for graduates of any discipline to gain an additional undergraduate degree by following a shorter than normal programme, successfully completing nine full units rather than twelve. This can normally be achieved in a minimum of two years with the exception of the BSc Economics, BSc Economics & Finance, BSc Development & Economics and the BSc Information Systems & Management.
