About Us
Welcome to the Birkbeck Finance Association!
We are Birkbeck's largest finance society, aiming to create opportunities for students interested in banking, finance and consulting. Whether you're set on a finance career, just curious about the industry or looking for a community of like-minded people, the BFA is the place for you.
This year we'll bring you skill development, networking, panel talks with professionals and competitions to build your CV. We also have a special program for students targeting careers like Investment Banking, Sales & Trading and Asset Management.
With our sponsors, we offer sponsored socials, exclusive workshops and direct access to internships, insight days and networking events that firms bring to their student partners.
What's on this year?
→ Fireside Chats & Panel Talks: Hear the real career journeys of people across banking, finance and consulting, and get your questions answered.
→ Workshops & Simulations: Practical skills you can add to your CV, from reading financial statements to building a stock pitch.
→ The Weekly Market Wrap: Keep up with market news and build your commercial awareness in real time through our weekly 'Market Wrap' Instagram series. Perfect for anyone into trading, banking or global markets.
→ Competitions & Opportunities: Case competitions and trading challenges coming soon this term!
→ Socials & Community: Finance societies don't have to be boring! Nights out and themed events all year, because the best connections happen outside the lecture theatre.
Our memberships are free this term, until January 2027. We can’t wait to see you at our events!
