FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT


The finance specialisation aims to produce ethical, high quality and job-ready finance professionals with a global mind-set for the finance industry. This is achieved through the following dimensions: industry relevance, ethics, breadth, rigour, and cross discipline. 

 

The specialisation involves many distinguished industry professionals as adjunct professors and invited speakers, bringing to the classroom the latest know how and innovations in the industry. Other than internships, students complete a field service project with a company in the industry which involves solving real business problems faced by the company. Students take part and perform well in finance competitions organised by the industry. The finance specialisation takes the development of ethics very seriously. The ethics dimension is often revisited in every finance module through discussions and case studies. Students are held to the highest standard of ethics requirement, especially in the area of non-plagiarism, honesty in assessment related work, and professionalism in project work.

 

The specialisation addresses the need for breadth through its three required finance modules: Corporate Finance, Investment Analysis and Financial Management. This ensures that students know the basic workings in the various sectors within the finance industry. It addresses the need for rigour through its many elective subjects ranging from the area of asset management, to personal finance, banking and business finance. Students may package their electives freely to develop all rounded rigor or specialized rigor for a particular finance career.

 

The finance specialisation integrates well with other specialisations in the Business School. Students have enough elective modules to take another specialisation such as marketing, decision science and management. The case studies and projects in the finance modules often require analysis in these other specialisations as well. The specialisation supports overseas student exchange programme stimulating the development of global mind-set and perspectives in finance.

 

The finance specialisation employs the latest and best pedagogy for education including blended learning. The specialisation enjoys the support of its numerous enthusiastic and dedicated alumni. They regularly come back for networking sessions with undergraduates and provide mentorship and career guidance. This adds to the vibrancy and colourful learning experience in the specialisation.
