Course Overview

In this MSc Corporate Governance, you will study the complex and changing relationships between business corporations, their stakeholders (shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers), and the societies in which they operate.

The economic and financial aspects of corporate governance relationships have long been of concern to those in the business and investment communities, and in recent years the social, political, and moral aspects of these relationships have also become a major public concern.

professional manager or trustee of pension and other investment funds.
