Cranfield’s expertise in banking and finance combines teaching, practical engagement and applied research. Our focus areas include financial management, investments, risk management, corporate restructuring, banking innovation, regulation, and inclusion. We aim to address wider economic themes such as inequality, renewable energy appraisal, foreign direct investment and the impact of policy on firms and markets. Our work supports sustainable and digital banking models, crisis management and long-term value creation for organisations. Through consulting with banks, governments, NGOs and start-ups, we translate insights into practice, equipping leaders and institutions with the tools to thrive in a rapidly-evolving financial landscape.
