School of Management
The degree in Banking and Finance aims to provide you with an understanding of the ways in which financial intermediaries and institutions operate, and the structure and functioning of financial markets. You will learn about the pricing of financial assets, and why and how corporations issue various types of assets. The banking units will provide information on precisely how such intermediaries operate, both on a domestic level and in the international arena. You will also learn how banks (and other institutions) might use financial assets, for example derivatives, in their risk management procedures.
Who is it for?
