BANKING & FINANCE

Banking and Finance explores the dynamic, fast-paced world of money, shares, credit and investments. Finance is an essential part of our economy as it provides liquidity in terms of money or assets required for future investments.

Finance degrees usually cover a combination of technical and theoretical knowledge, including the basic finance skills you will need to enter finance careers. You will learn how wealth is measured and also how finance influences and shapes the way companies behave. Economics and statistics are also covered, since they are crucial to the understanding of finance. Other important finance topics which will probably be taught include accounting, mathematical methods, macro and microeconomics and information technology.

During the later stages of the program, optional modules will be available. Students will be able to choose a specific direction they want to pursue and take classes in fields such as taxation, audit, business strategy, business and employment law, management accounting, advanced accounting theory and risk management.

Since finance courses offer such wide range of subjects, they prepare students for a similarly wide range of finance careers. These include roles in areas such as commercial banking, financial planning, investment banking, money managing, insurance and real estate.
