The three basic types of investment securities are money, debt (bonds) and equities (stocks). You'll also study the scope of passive and active investments.
Develop your understanding of the banking sector by studying some key concepts, principles and practices in modern banking regulations and the resolution of modern banking crises. You'll study topics such as banking supervision and regulations, prudential supervision of banks, and international regulations.
Improve your understanding of econometric principles and methods. You'll have the opportunity to apply techniques in the statistical testing of economic theories and models, as well as the forecasting of economic and financial variables.
Explore some of the key concepts, principles and practices in the modern banking industry. You'll develop your ability to analyse money, banking industry and central banking. This module will concentrate on policy implementation by the Central Bank and resultant economic impacts both nationally and internationally.
