After studying your degree in finance, this course extends your learning into new realms, providing the know-how you need to progress your career.

You’ll examine a broad range of financial topics including financial technologies, corporate finance, traditional and alternative investments, international business, banking and financial modelling.

Your abilities in portfolio management will be extended, giving you specialist knowledge in advanced financial asset management strategies, risk management, financial analysis and performance metrics to help you address new challenges.

Simulated valuation exercises and scenario analyses broaden your experience, so you can meet your client’s ethical and investment objectives as well as increasing the value of their portfolios.

In the second semester, you’ll look at the economics behind asset pricing including martingales, stochastic discount factors and utility functions, as well as the microeconomic and macroeconomic issues in fintech investments.

You’ll be prepared for the jobs of the future, gaining knowledge of disruptive technologies such as blockchain, robo-advice and crowd funding, while examining the risks and returns of alternative assets such as real estate, commodities and cryptocurrencies.

Your learning experience will be individualised; class sizes are kept small, while teaching methods include innovative technology and interactive gaming for some of your assessments and lectures.
