You’ll examine the basic principles of financial management and apply them to decision making, and we’ll discuss innovative approaches like Islamic finance. The course also includes a unit on leadership, change management and strategy as we know many of our graduates work towards securing leadership positions in large organisations.
To help you develop the latest knowledge employers look for, we’ll look at technology and innovation that aims to compete with traditional financial methods. We’ll consider how the use of technology has the potential to create change and help organisations evolve.
The highlights of this course include the range of up-to-date topic areas covered and the opportunity to complete a live research project.
