Course Overview

A degree in Banking and Finance offers you the opportunity to study the theory and practice of financial services and financial markets, and to analyze the broader role of the financial sector in the national and global economies. Banking and financial services is a highly competitive and rapidly changing sector in every modern economy and this course prepares you to tackle it head-on. In recent years, forces such as globalization, technological change, deregulation, and international integration have fundamentally transformed the banking and financial services sector. Banks have responded to growing competitive pressure by diversifying into new activities. Insurance companies and pension funds have also grown rapidly and non-bank institutions such as supermarkets and telecommunications firms now compete directly in financial services markets.
