Finance, Investment and Risk Bachelor of Science - BSc

Walbrook’s BSc (Hons) Finance, Investment and Risk prepares you to understand what moves financial markets – and make informed decisions within them. You'll also learn from an institute with 145+ years of experience teaching specialist banking and finance education. You’ll learn how investments are valued, how risk and return are assessed, and how data is used to make financial decisions in changing global markets.

At Walbrook, you'll study in London, close to major investment banks and global financial organisations. And the skills you’ll develop are relevant to a sector with significant demand: around 120,000 finance and investment analyst and adviser roles could need filling across the UK by 2035 (UK Government, 2026), while 70% of priority UK financial services occupations are currently in critical or elevated demand (Skills England, 2026).

That’s the kind of opportunity this degree is designed to prepare you for. Alongside your studies, Walbrook Careers can help you prepare for graduate recruitment, with personal careers guidance, 24/7 careers resources, CV and application support, recruitment practice, careers workshops and employer events.

By graduation, you’ll be ready to explore careers across investment management, risk management and capital markets – with the analytical, quantitative and professional skills to assess opportunities, understand risk and make evidence-based financial decisions. These career areas are specifically identified in the programme specification.
