COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
Finance – the study of financial institutions, markets and instruments, and their effect on the flow of funds within the economy – is a fast-paced and challenging field. Those with expertise in the field are often involved in an organisation’s top-level planning processes, as the financial advice they provide allows management to determine how best to meet profit goals, and company objectives to ensure growth.
In the comprehensive, flexible and highly practical Master of Finance, you’ll learn how to apply your superior technical skills to examine, interpret and appraise financial information and market conditions. You’ll study recent developments in banking and finance, with a particular focus on ethical, social, regulatory, economic, sustainability and global perspectives. And you’ll conduct independent research and exercise professional judgement in solving complex banking and financial problems.
