In your fourth and final year, you’ll apply and integrate your knowledge and skills through a thesis project or a practical industry experience and supporting project.
Throughout your degree, you’ll learn on industry-standard software, such as social media analytics platforms and Refinitiv Workspace trading and financial analysis software. You’ll also have access to biometrics for market research and analysis through our Consumer Research Lab.
