Diploma in Financial Studies

UPDATED 20161012 09:30:55

The Diploma in Financial Studies (DipFS) has been designed to encourage individuals to be inspired to meet their lifestyle aspirations in the context of an evolving financial services marketplace. In the first year, the course will help students to become responsible borrowers, sensible savers and have an appreciation of the need for financial planning throughout their life. You will learn about managing your money, how it will impact on your life and the choices that you will have to make. Financial services products (such as credit cards, loans and mortgages) will be explained to you along with how they can help you meet your individual lifestyle needs. This qualification will clearly give you a head start to a career in the financial services industry. However rather than focusing on any particular career, this qualification is intended to teach you what you need to know about managing your money. If you are worried about becoming financially independent at university or when you start fulltime work this could be the course for you.
