How much corporate finance is covered in a finance degree?
The amount of corporate finance in a finance degree depends on the programme’s required modules and electives. It may be covered in modules on financial decision-making, capital budgeting, valuation, capital structure, financing, dividends, risk, and mergers and acquisitions; specialist options can add further depth.
Key points
- Corporate finance content may appear in core modules or as optional study.
- Assessment may include numerical analysis, case studies, reports, valuation exercises, or examinations.
- A broader business-focused degree may allocate less space to corporate finance than a specialist finance programme.
Things to check
