Compulsory/Core modules
The module provides a relatively non-technical overview of the use of statistical methods in business research. There is an emphasis on practical work and interpretation, and there will be extensive use of Stata, a statistics/econometrics package. The course covers the basic elements of: descriptive statistics, probability, sampling, inference, and multivariate regression analysis.
By studying this module, students would be able to gain understanding of the following topics: How to carry out valuation of real investment projects; Calculating return and risk, cost of capital; Interrelationship between real investment and financial decisions of the firm: capital structure, dividend policy, financial distress and bankruptcy; International financial management: transfer pricing, international taxation, mergers and acquisitions, and optimal investment decisions
This module will compare the forms and functions of various financial markets, and develop an understanding of how financial managers use these markets to attain corporate goals. This module will also analyse various sophisticated and complex financial instruments used, and establish a framework of how different forms of financial institutions operate to manage financial risks. In addition, it will discuss the framework of financial regulation and the functions of central banks.
The dissertation requires a demonstration of the ability to carry out an original investigation into an area of interest. As such, the process should reflect skills of formulating research questions, synthesising and analysing data, drawing insights and conclusions, and written communication. Students will be required to conduct an investigation of an issue relevant to the content of the Programme of which it forms a component. Students will be guided through the dissertation process by a Supervisor.
The module provides a non-technical overview of quantitative methodologies frequently used in finance and international business research. The module is data driven and covers the basics of: Hypotheses testing, OLS and Logistic Regression Analysis, Instrumental Variables, Time Series Analysis, Panel Data Models and Differences-in Differences. The module also teaches how to apply these methods using STATA (a leading econometrics software).
As the international company becomes the norm rather than the exception, the need to internationalise the tools of financial analysis is apparent. We now live in a highly integrated world economy, and it is crucial that businesses understand both the risks and opportunities that globalisation brings. This module is designed to immerse student in the international dimension of financial issues. It specifically focuses on the international aspects of financial management to appreciate the issues that international investments and money management that international operation involves.
The module focuses on investment analysis and aims to develop an understanding of how securities and portfolios investment fits with the international financial markets. It will introduce students the Capital Asset Pricing Model, Arbitrage Pricing Theory, multi-factor model, bond valuation, equity valuation, Financial Statement analysis, option valuation and portfolio performance evaluation. This module is particularly useful for students considering a career in finance, investment management, investment banking, investment consultancy or asset management.
Elective modules
The Internet and related financial technologies such as cloud services, blockchain, data analytics ("big data"), and artificial intelligence (AI), combined with web-based business models, such as platforms, are rapidly transforming every day work and the future of the accounting and finance professions. This module looks at how the leading financial technologies (Fintech) impact on accounting and finance professionals. How do the accounting and finance professionals adapt to these changes? What are the opportunities and challenges for accounting and finance professions in the Fintech market? The wider legal, ethical and economic implications of using Fintech are discussed. At the end, students will be introduced to Python, a popular programming language for Fintech.
The module provides insights into how accounting is embedded in a socio-economic context and how accounting is shaped by this context. Key concepts and methods of accounting are discussed by focusing on the reporting of the financial position and financial performance of business organisations, the analysis of the financial statements produced by business organisations and the use of accounting information by management for planning, decision making and control purposes.
This module examines the financial reporting of companies, and how such reporting can be analysed to evaluate performance. No prior knowledge of accounting is assumed: students learn how accounts are constructed and analysed, then examine the impact of selected issues on the reported numbers e.g. the reporting of intangible assets; and the treatment of share options used to reward management. The module takes a global perspective and refers largely to the regulatory regime of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Managerial Economics applies microeconomics to problems confronting decision-making within firms, and covers how to tie and apply economic thinking to current events and policy debates that are relevant to businesses. The topics concern key aspects of the functioning of markets, including the role of prices, interdependence and elasticities, as well as market failures, the impact of non-competitive market structures, focusing on the case of oligopoly, pricing decisions, including quantity discounts and different types of market segmentation.
This module will introduce students to the elementary mathematics and analytics of investment for digital and real assets. This module will develop, from a practical approach, an understanding of the analytics of several asset classes that are currently included in investment portfolios, such as commodities, real estate, art and cryptoassets, and how these assets' statistical properties fit in the context of the portfolio. The module focuses on the concepts and characteristics of digital and real assets. It will introduce students to the mathematics of the Theory of Storage for commodities, the mathematics of indexes and uses in the real estate and art markets, trading algorithms, and cryptocurrency investment strategies such as staking, De-Fi, and non-fungible tokens. This module is particularly useful for students considering a career in financial mathematics, finance, investment management, investment banking, consultancy or asset management.
Please note that all modules are subject to change.
Assessment

Dissertation
You will be required to write a 10,000-word individual dissertation.
—"One of my key takeaways from the programme is the confidence that I have built towards pursuing different career paths in finance. This was aided by the high level of variety and comprehensiveness offered by the modules, which always required us to carry out further research and build sought-after skills for different lines of work across the industry. The various modes of assessments, including research reports, STATA assignments and timed exams, provided me with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in finance and econometrics."
