ifs University College

ifs University College is the university for financial education. London-based, it is a registered charity incorporated by Royal Charter that exists to ensure a flow of talented individuals into the financial services industry and related sectors. Its qualifications enable individuals to reach their full professional potential and encourage appropriate and ethical practice. ifs University College was founded in 1879 as the Institute of Bankers and has remained at the forefront of professional education in financial services ever since. We also offer our qualifications via part-time and flexible learning. These programmes are ideal for those who wish to gain a highly respected qualification in banking, finance and accounting while working and/or living at home. The study options available and the support provided give a huge degree of flexibility and enable our students to balance their study with busy work and personal lives. Our part-time degrees are structured into a series of levels each equivalent to a year of the equivalent full-time programme. Completion of each level of study leads to a well-respected industry benchmark qualification or recognised higher education award in its own right. This flexible approach provides a number of 'stopping-off' points on the way to achieving the full degree.
