Taught Modules

MN-3004 Investment Banking

The module is designed to develop an awareness of how investment banking operates.
MN-3005 Financial Services

This course is designed to introduce students to the role and structure of a financial system. Most of the issues discussed (eg. financial intermediation, securitisation, regulation, uses of derivative contracts) are general to all financial systems. The impact of the financial crisis of 2007/8 on the financial services industry is covered extensively in the first semester. This module provides an overview to many specific topics covered by bespoke modules in finance and serves as a general purpose overview of higher level financial services and markets.
MN-3503 Financial Innovation and Risk Management

This module embraces the conceptual, technical and computational elements of innovative financial and risk management techniques. For example, the course will examine the theoretical basis for risk management and the type of techniques (e.g. insurance, derivatives) that can be employed by companies. Additionally, the course will focus on the role of risk management in strategic planning.
MN-3508 Contemporary Issues in Finance

The focus will be on researching important but unresolved issues/puzzles in finance and financial management. The course will help to identify and explain how such financial phenomena exist and persist in financial markets and organisations. The students are trained with knowledge and understanding on contemporary issues in finance as well as key research and presentation skills. Both academic and institutional knowledge at theory and empirical levels will be enhanced through this module.
