Global Business and Advanced Finance - B6048
Master's degree/Master's degree
Financial markets don’t operate in regional silos. They’re part of an interconnected global network – where decisions made, or challenges faced, in one part of the world impact the financial markets in another.
In this program, you’ll progress the financial know-how you’ve been developing throughout your work and study to a more advanced level, while gaining a greater understanding of the global business climate. A stronger sense for the challenges and the opportunities influencing businesses at an international scale will help you leverage your financial expertise – so you can contribute to the world’s financial markets in more positive, more sustainable ways as well.
MAKE YOUR NEXT MOVE
It’s a two-year program that opens up countless opportunities to develop your skillset and gain a critical edge in your career. You’ll build your insight in investment valuation, corporate financial decision-making and sustainable finance, while drawing on a quantitative skillset – and leveraging machine learning and big data to critically analyse contemporary business decisions and make more informed decisions. You’ll also develop the critical context to make those decisions at an international level.
ELEVATE YOUR EXPERTISE
With a more nuanced understanding of the geopolitical challenges that impact the global financial market – across focus areas including trade policy, data analytics and sustainability – you’ll be able to complement your career in finance and investments with a truly global perspective.
