Overview

The Finance Honours programme provides students with the appropriate theoretical knowledge and quantitative skills in the fields of Corporate Finance, Portfolio Management and Risk Management, International Business Finance and other related fields. At the end of the programme, students are expected to have developed both analytical and research skills to solve problems related to finance, and the ability to work independently. These will enable them to follow a successful career primarily in the financial services industry and other private or public institutions where financial and investment management skills are required.
