Bachelor of Science - Finance

Finance is a rapidly growing discipline that examines the acquisition and allocation of financial resources. Where financial accounting measures past performance, Finance as a discipline is forward focused. It is largely about future planning for firms or investors.

Finance consists of three interrelated subject areas:

corporate finance studies how firms raise and efficiently utilise funds obtained from lenders and shareholders
financial markets and institutions explores how the financial system facilitates the transfer of funds from savers and lenders to borrowers
investment analysis studies how investors choose securities and asset classes for their investment portfolios.
All of these areas assess the trade-off between risk and reward and the valuation of financial and capital assets.
