In the rapidly changing, competitive and multi-faceted finance industry, executives today require highly specialised knowledge in the areas of financial planning and analyses, foreign exchange risk management, fund positioning and budgeting.
The last decade has seen the emergence of new concepts in the various areas of finance, investments and economics. In 2008, with the unfolding of the global economic crisis, there now exists an even greater understanding of financial instruments and models which are still plaguing the global financial system. The NUS MBA Specialisation in Finance focuses on the concerns of the financial industry in the recent years, covering topics like international financial management, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, options and futures and corporate governance.
This specialisation equips students with strategic management skills to prepare them for success in both the regional and international financial arenas.
