To prepare graduates for careers in mid- to senior-level financial and banking positions in central and commercial banks, consulting firms, investment funds, hedge funds, or insurance companies, the Master of Arts (MA) in Banking and Finance is designed to offer rigorous academic and practical training. Besides providing training in banking, finance, management, and accounting, the program also provides an in-depth understanding of the finance industry. During this course, students will develop critical thinking and decision-making skills, which will enable students to evaluate bank operations, corporate finance issues, financial derivatives, investment strategies, quantitative techniques, risk management models, and the latest developments in financial markets.
