The financial services industry provides a range of career
opportunities within investment banking, private banking, retail
and high street banking.
Investment banks are typically involved in corporate finance
where the work involves providing advice to companies, institutions
and governments about how best to raise finance; mergers and
acquisitions which involve financial analysis of companies and
advice on procedures and negotiating deals; and capital markets
which involves trading in shares, bonds, and other assets such as
futures and options. Private banking concerns working for an
independent bank, or a division of a larger bank, that provides
wealth management advice to wealthy and often long established
clients of the bank. Retail and high street banking offers a full
range of banking services to companies as well as individuals.
BPP Business school offers an assortment of postgraduate
finance degree courses. Every course is taught by a
series of experienced practitioners alongside robust academic
tutors and is well structured in order to provide you with the
highest standard of graduate finance learning.

There are a range of careers available but finance tends to
be an industry where people specialise in a sector rather than
becoming a generalist.
