International Finance - 3.5 years BIFin (Hons)

Our January start option allows you to achieve our quality Honours degree in 3.5 years (42 months) of study. We are excited to offer this option as an alternative to the United Kingdom tradition of starting degrees in September.

Starting in January allows you to prepare fully for travels to Dundee and removes the time pressure of arranging visas, travel, and finances as well as English language requirements. Of course, you may also want to start in January so that you can have a short break before returning to study. Starting in January also has a financial benefit. You pay lower fees in your first year and you enter the job market after only three and a half years.

International Finance covers the mechanics and operation of foreign exchange and interest rate markets, financial econometrics, and monetary and financial issues in the global economy. You will learn how financial risks are managed by international firms.

The course is more intensively focused on the international financial stage, compared to our BFin Finance degree. It includes core modules of the BFin to help you to understand how these firms select, assess, and finance their projects internationally.
