Quality, Innovation and Relevance in Financial Education
The ifs School of Finance is a registered charity, incorporated by Royal Charter and has a remit to provide the financial services industry with a skilled and competent workforce while also promoting a better understanding of finance amongst consumers.
The ifs is the only specialist financial education body that is able to award its own taught degrees, a status that reflects the quality of all its programmes.
Its financial capability, regulatory ‘licences to practise’ and higher professional qualifications are directly informed in terms of content and learning experience by the needs of those it exists to educate. They bridge the academic/vocational divide to provide students with essential practical skills and the conceptual and analytical abilities of academic study.
It is this unique and innovative approach that makes the ifs the provider of choice for organisations and individuals seeking to improve knowledge, skills and career prospects in the area of finance and financial services.
