Accounting and Finance Graduate Programmes

In the field of finance, this proliferation of knowledge has led to an increasingly greater proportion of business organizations side-stepping the traditional financial system mediated by banks, to participate in the market-driven financial system where capital is obtained directly from the financial markets. In tandem, there is an increase in demand for skills and expertise in the concomitant areas of asset management, real estate finance, and securities analysis. These changes have caused organizations to increasingly seek specialized management skills and avoid management generalists.  Higher education in the field of finance needs to provide this advanced specialized training, featuring a solid foundation of finance as well as a broader focus on accounting, auditing, economics, law, and business administration. 

The Masters of Science in Finance program is designed to train business leaders, financial policy managers, and academicians who are firmly grounded in the core areas of corporate finance, capital markets, asset management, financial risk management, financial reporting, securities research, and strategic management control.  A range of careers is available for graduates including management of financial institutions, financial analysis, financial market trading, real estate, consultancy, and financial regulatory agencies.
