Finance plays a vital role in the functioning and stability of the global economy, influencing individuals, businesses, and institutions both directly and indirectly. The Finance and Banking degree program is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in finance, banking, or accounting. The program lasts four years and consists of eight semesters.
Throughout the program, you will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of finance and their practical applications. You will explore the characteristics of various financial instruments, including bonds, stocks, savings deposits, loans, and financial derivatives. You will also learn how these instruments are valued and examine the key factors that influence investment decisions.
The program also includes courses in accounting, where you will learn the fundamental techniques for recording assets, income, and expenses, as well as other essential accounting procedures.
Bachelor's degree
The Finance and Banking degree program will help you develop strong analytical and decision-making skills. Although many established theories can help you determine the most appropriate financial solution, you will learn that every situation is different. These theories provide a valuable framework for understanding financial issues, but they cannot always be applied exactly as presented.
For this reason, the program will also help you develop the judgment needed to handle unpredictable situations—an essential skill that will serve you well as a future economist.
The four-year program consists of 40 courses that students must successfully complete. Each semester includes both required and elective courses. Depending on the available options, students choose one of two electives, two of three electives, or two of four electives.
Upon graduation, you will earn the professional title of Bachelor of Economics in Finance and Banking.
