Introduction
The MSc in Corporate Finance with Corporate Governance programme is designed to help students recognize, understand, and attain those skills associated with success in the world of finance. Its focus is the financial decisions that must be made in every organisation. The global financial crisis, corporate scandals and collapses, and public concern over the apparent lack of effective boards have all contributed to an explosion of interest in good governance practices.
In addition, the programme aims to develop a sound understanding of the processes and oversight that drive the highest standards of leadership, accountability, sustainability reporting, and ethical behaviour in business.
Program Outcome
Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be able to:
- appraise the core theories of finance and assess the empirical evidence on these;
- critically discuss the financing arrangements and governance structures of business entities;
- evaluate the factors influencing investment behaviour;
- demonstrate critical awareness of how financial markets operate in different settings;
- debate the role of finance in society and the wider economy;
- critically evaluate arguments and evidence related to the practice of treasury management;
- provide the principles of finance and corporate governance;
- acquire the knowledge and skills to promote corporate responsibility, fairness, transparency, and accountability;
- identify issues usually addressed by corporate governance structures;
- identify and summarise recent scandals and abuses and the regulatory reaction and identify the other drivers of corporate governance, such as capital markets, shareholders, and rating agencies.
While Corporate Governance will be of interest to students who are considering a career in ethical or compliance functions, the MSc programme in Corporate Finance with Corporate Governance will provide a sound understanding of risk management and control.
