Would Insurance Suit You Better Than Finance?
Contents
Two Courses With an Interest in Financial Matters
Finance and Insurance can both appeal to students who are interested in money, financial services and risk. However, their academic focus is different.
What Finance Focuses On
Finance deals with the management and use of financial resources. Students can explore investment, financial management, financial markets, financial analysis and corporate finance.
Where Insurance Takes the Lead
Insurance is more specifically concerned with risk protection, insurance products, underwriting, claims and the management of risks. Students who are particularly interested in how risks are assessed and transferred may prefer this direction.
Choosing Between the Two
Finance may suit you if you are more interested in investment, financial decision-making and the management of money. Insurance may be a better fit if your strongest interest is risk and insurance services.
Both fields can lead to work within the wider financial services environment, but the knowledge developed through each course is different.
