New BSc in Finance and Management with Venice: Premium Degree at a Competitive Price

The University of Reading and Henley Business School’s commitment to increasing student mobility internationally has led to the launch of a new BSc in Finance and Management in collaboration with the University of Venice starting in September 2015.

Students will spend their first and third year at Henley Business School in Reading while the second year will be fully taught in Venice (in English) by the prestigious Ca’ Foscari University.

To widen participation and launch the new degree, student fees have been reduced for both EU and non-EU applicants, relative to other programmes offered by Henley Business School. The School is further promoting this initiative by granting all UK students a £4,000 scholarship.

All EU students can apply for a loan sponsored by the UK government to cover university fees for the duration of the degree. [1] More details can be found at (www.gov.uk/student-finance).
