Course description

The BSc (Hons) Economics with Finance course is designed to help you understand the interactions between the economy and the financial system, providing knowledge of theories,  practice, tools and techniques that will allow you to pursue a successful career in economics, finance and related areas. The combination of economics (as a major) with finance (as minor) provides an excellent platform for you to become successful in today’s competitive job markets.

During the course, you are taught the implications of a rapidly changing global economy and you can specialise in a range of areas that develop intellectual, professional and transferable skills. Upon graduation, you will be a qualified professional ready to take on employment opportunities in the public and private sectors, in multinational organisations and NGOs.

How you will study

The course emphasises on active student learning through seminars and lectures (including virtual), computer-lab and financial markets suite workshops, problem-based and blended learning activities. Course material is provided through an online learning platform and this is an important resource base which you can access at any time and from anywhere, provided you have access to the internet.

The platform also provides a channel of communication between the students and module leaders through blogs. This ensures a student centric approach, focusing on your abilities, needs and learning styles where the module leader is a facilitator of your learning.


Independent study is a key learning skill for academic study and your future employability. As part of the course, you are expected to work independently. This may take various forms including group collaborative tasks, research, reading, revision, assessment preparation, projects that feed into presentation and debates, lab or studio-based work.

The course is a perfect place to start your undergraduate studies irrespective of the path a student may pursue later. After graduation, I chose to work as a credit analyst at the Korean Development Bank and found that modules such as Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, and Financial Management that I was taught during the course were extremely useful in my job. After three years, I decided to do a Master’s degree in Data Science. To my surprise, knowledge obtained in Mathematics and Statistics classes at WIUT was highly transferable. No matter which machine learning model we study, I discover under the hood the concepts of eigenvalues, Markov processes, and positive definiteness taught by Farrukh Ataev so enthusiastically when I was his student.

Academic staff at WIUT are knowledgeable and responsible, they conduct interesting lectures and practical seminars. The knowledge I obtained here helped me to build a solid foundation for my further studies. Also, as an international student, I was very impressed by the atmosphere of the University. My lecturers and course mates were always supportive whenever I had difficulties with both my study and life; my time here would not have been so enjoyable without them. It was a valuable experience for me to study at WIUT.
