Why take Financial Studies?

Why take Financial Studies?

"I enjoyed that Finance relates to everyday life, and we can prepare for the future. Unit 1 includes everyday banking and budgeting which is useful for when you start getting an income and need to handle your money." “I have found the Mylibf quizzes to be really helpful throughout all sections of finance. I would say my favourite unit is unit 1 and favourite section from it is section 2 on the personal life cycle! I like the class atmosphere and miss H is nice too. “ "I enjoyed Unit 1, where we learnt about everyday banking and types of saving products." "I enjoyed unit 1 topic 11 and 12. I really enjoyed completing the learning maps "

What students say My favourite section was unit 2 topic 3 as it was interesting to learn about different mortgages available as well as other types of loans and products. What I like about finance is that even though there maybe a lot of content to cover, it is possible to minimize and memorise it. Which makes it easier to revise before an exam.
