Objectives

Our three degrees in finance (Finance, Banking, and International Finance, and Investment and Financial Risk Management) provide detailed knowledge of how financial markets work, how companies make investment, financing, and acquisition decisions and how modern banks operate. If you are looking for a career in finance and weighing up which aspects of the field excite you the most, this course is for you.

This course will sharpen your understanding of the broad disciplines involved, from corporate finance to asset pricing, international finance to corporate governance.
