MSc in Corporate Finance with Corporate Governance

A Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university

Proficiency in the English Language
Applicants, whose first language is not English, and who do not have a recognised Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification taught and examined in English, are required to provide evidence of their competence in written and spoken English, normally through IELTS (Bands 5.5 – 6) or an equivalent qualification. Students below this standard can be provided with individually designed English language courses on campus and must achieve the required scores prior to registration for the MSc program.

Upon successful completion of the program, 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 behavior;
• 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 program in Corporate Finance with Corporate Governance will provide a sound understanding of risk management and control.
