Why study finance?
Finance professionals are needed in every industry – from hospitality and retail to business services and transport. In fact, the UK government recently reported that 2.5 million people in the UK work in financial services or related fields (State of the sector: annual review of UK financial services, 2023).
But there's also a big shift happening. According to the Financial Services Skills Commission, the sector is expected to lose 260,000 skilled workers by 2035 due to retirement (People + Technology report, 2023). This means financial services need new talent with up-to-date skills to fill these roles.
