Bachelor in Banking and Finance (Hons) - Investment Analytics

PROGRAMME OUTLINE

​This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:

• Knowledge and skills in handling financial products, product development and working within the rapidly changing Global Banking and Finance Industry.
• Opportunities to develop into highly competent managers, who are well qualified not only in Banking and Finance but also other professional areas required for successful business administration and management.
• Knowledge and understanding of the core elements of investment, financial analysis, and risk management that underpin sound decision-making.
• FinTech knowledge and technical skill relevant to Banking and Finance.

Students will learn fundamental skills required by every banking and finance professional, and the basic understanding of business management and finance. We will also expose them towards business & communication skills, accounting skills and management skills.

A broader range of skills will be learned, in which the students will gain a better understanding of investment analysis and management of investment risks. In addition, they will be introduced to the tool and test for various financial markets through Econometric software and trading platform. Besides, students will also be introduced to the hands-on training on the underlying technologies enabling FinTech solutions such as Python programming and R-programming.

Students will undertake a short Internship/ Industrial Training for a minimum period of 16 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.

Students will make use of their previous studies and industrial experience to learn about the practical aspect of risk management practices and theories as well as the globalisation of banking and finance in Global Banking and Finance. Concept and empirical applications of Technical Analysis & Trading will also be a target to groom them as a leader in investment and risk management. A final-year project requires them to explore a topic individually – they will demonstrate their academic and practical aspects of their ability in the chosen area of study.
