How Finance Differs from Business Administration
Contents
A Specialised Financial Course vs a Broad Business Course
Finance and Business Administration can both lead to careers in the business environment, but the scope of study is different.
What You Get From Finance
Finance concentrates more heavily on financial matters. Students can explore investment, financial management, financial analysis, banking, financial markets, risk and corporate finance.
What Business Administration Covers
Business Administration is broader. Depending on the university, students may study management, marketing, operations, human resources, finance and other functions involved in running an organisation.
The Better Choice Depends on You
Finance may be a better fit if you already know that you want a more specialised financial direction. Business Administration can be useful for a student who wants a wider understanding of business before deciding where to specialise.
