Master in Finance Programme Design

imageIts broad curriculum gives equal attention to corporate finance and capital markets and allows participants to develop expertise in corporate financial strategy, investment banking, financial accounting, reporting and analysis, risk management; and equity and fixed income portfolio management.  CFA curriculum textbooks are used as core programme readings to maximize participants' industry readiness.
Projects using Matlab and VBA software (widely used in the finance industry) and the simulations in the School's virtual trading floor, sponsored by  FININFO are key components of the pedagogical approach.
