Course description:
The Master of Science in Finance degree Program aims to prepare the student for a career in financial management, specifically to undertake the various financial management functions in managing financial institutions, as well as the functions of the financial manager or the treasurer in non-financial institutions. The Program also intends to prepare the student for responsibilities in regulatory and policy-making functions affecting financial markets and institutions.
To prepare the student for a finance career, he/she shall pursue studies that shall provide a solid foundation in finance and a mastery of the relevant literature, theory and application. The Program provides the student with a strong foundation on theory, principles, and concepts of finance.
In addition, the student is introduced to analytical tools and perspectives that shall provide a firm basis for financial decision-making. The Program has rigorous course requirements and demands high levels of energy and commitment from the student. The student shall work in depth in each course through proper balancing of finance theory and research literature (on one hand) with the practical aspects of financial management (on the other). Empirical research work shall be combined with the case-study approach.
Although anchored on concepts, theories, tools and techniques, the Program has a decision-making orientation because it is dedicated to the development of the managerial manpower for the finance sector.
The target students are those performing (or who shall perform) key managerial functions in firms in the financial services sector, or their counterparts in the non-financial sectors (particularly those performing finance and treasury functions) and in government.
