This programme of study is designed specifically for students wishing to embark on a career in the global world of banking and financial services. It is also ideal for bankers who wish to enhance their skills and knowledge and advance their careers. Students will gain a competitive edge by acquiring an advanced and critical understanding of theoretical frameworks and applied aspects of banking, financial regulation, financial markets, bank management and corporate financial management. Within this programme, continued emphasis is given to practical application of banking and finance knowledge and techniques so that students can develop the ability to research issues, analyse and solve problems and operate effectively in the context of modern banking and finance environments.
Recognising that the banking industry and financial markets are highly globalised and dynamic, the programme has been developed so that it incorporates a study of different banking systems, international financial markets and emerging global trends and developments in banking in its core content. Our innovative option courses offer students a chance to explore, in-depth, cutting edge developments in areas such as Risk Management, Financial Trading Techniques and Project Finance.
The dissertation element gives students a unique chance to develop their research abilities and deepen their expertise in an area of banking and finance in which they have developed a specific interest during the course. To maintain the programme’s currency and relevance, guest lectures are delivered by leading academics and senior executives from banks and other financial institutions to keep students attuned with the latest developments and thinking issues in this dynamic sector.
