The Mediterranean College Business School is one of the first Business Schools to be established in Greece (1977) and the first to offer an MBA, back in 1989. The BA (Hons) Business Management (Finance) has been designed by the University of Derby, a TOP10 UK University for Management Studies, according to the Guardian University Guide, 2020.
This is the only bilingual programme in Greece certified by the UK CMI (Chartered Management Institute), which ensures that you’ll develop the knowledge and skills that employers seek. In addition, you become a CMI affiliate member, with access to the Institute’s electronic resources, and you also earn the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management & Leadership.
What you will study
Strong financial management is essential to a prosperous business. By combining management know-how with financial expertise, you’ll be ideally placed to deliver practical business solutions that ensure any organisation fulfils its potential.
By the time you graduate with a BA (Hons) Business Management (Finance), you’ll be taking financial analysis and projections in your stride. You’ll have the specialist skills to assess the financial health of an organisation, control and coordinate its financial resources effectively, and help it avoid common pitfalls in performance management. You’ll also have a strong understanding of corporate governance.
All students take the same core modules in the first year to give them a solid grounding in the key business disciplines. After that, you can choose to follow the specialist pathway in Finance or – if you find your interests have changed – you can easily transfer to one of our other pathways in Marketing, Management or Shipping.
Why choose this course
- The degree is awarded by the No1 Ranked UK University in Greece and Top 10 in the UK.
- It is the only CMI-accredited programme, offering the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management & Leadership.
- You can achieve exemptions from Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) professional qualifications.
- You can change pathway in the 2nd year of your studies: Management, Marketing or Shipping.
- You can participate in a student exchange week at the University of Derby.
- You’ll build specialist skills in financial analysis and projections so that you can hit the ground running from day one in a job.
- You get familiar with all business functions, through our business simulation lab and the SimVenture awarded software.
- You undertake a live consultancy project in one of our industry partners.
- You become a bilingual finance executive, with exceptional academic and career prospects.
We offer partial scholarships to international students up to 20%.
You’ll learn through lectures – some by guest lecturers, seminars, one-to-one or small group tutorials and self-directed study. You’ll take the theories off the page and put them into practice in real-world scenarios. You can test your ideas through business simulations, topical case studies and employer-led projects. A live consultancy project, where you help an employer to improve business performance, will build your research, project management, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
Assessment is mainly via coursework which can take forms such as essays and report, group project work, research and consultancy projects, presentations, posters, design of digital materials, in-class tests, and computer-based assessments.
