Finance

Description

The continuing euro-zone debt issue provides a challenging and exciting opportunity for you to study finance, a subject which is the focus of extensive current debate. Heightened awareness of the inadequacies in the financial system have drawn attention to the requirement for a new generation of risk aware, educated managers with an understanding of financial instruments and markets to run effective operations throughout the front, middle and back office environment.

This programme will provide you with an opportunity to capitalise upon these opportunities, providing you with a rigorous yet practical programme of study designed to prepare you for effective job performance within a financial institution.

The Chartered Financial Analyst qualification is globally recognised and respected. While exemptions are not possible, this programme is designed to cover at least 70% of the Level 1 qualification, thereby equipping you with the knowledge to facilitate passing this exam upon graduation.

The aims of the programme are:

• To prepare you for a career in the finance sector
• To develop your theoretical and practical knowledge of finance in the context of the global economy
• To equip you with the skills required for a complex and changing business environment.
