Heriot-Watt University Bachelor's Degree in Business & Finance (BA)

An intensive two year programme leading to a British university degree.

This degree programme is very similar to the BBA but has a final semester specifically aimed at those who seek a career in the financial sector. Some of the very top salaries in the world of commerce are paid to those who work in this area of operations, particularly in banking, capital markets and financial services. It can also act as the perfect entry qualification for the Heriot-Watt University Master's Degree (MSc.) in Financial Management.

Important Information: The first 3 semesters if the BBA and the BA in Business and Finance are identical. It is therefore possible to switch registration form one degree to the other at any time during the first 18 months of each two year programmes. So students should not worry about choosing the wrong course at the admission stage.
