The need to launch a new program in financial studies arises in the light of changes in the operating and financing features of financial institutions, the appearance of new forms of financial instruments and institutions that ensure the dramatic changes in the domestic, regional and international conditions. The ever-changing nature of financial markets, financial institutions, and business firms has made it increasingly important for finance experts including financial managers, investment analysts in securities firms, lending officers in banks and other financial institutions and traders in capital markets and dealing rooms - to have a clear understanding of the theory and practice relating to financial market operations and corporate financial strategy. Familiarity with the most recent developments in risk appraisal, portfolio analysis, the engineering of synthetic products, modeling techniques, financial analysis and valuation are essential requirements for all those involved directly in financial activities or who wish to gain a deeper understanding of this important area of business management. With these needs in mind, the MSc in financial studies is designed to develop participants' existing skills through a scheme of specialist advanced program. An important objective is to provide participants with relevant analytical training, so that they are familiar with the latest theoretical and practical developments relating to banking, finance and capital markets. This program provides a coherent theoretical framework for the various subject areas, but the emphasis throughout is on advanced practical application of financial techniques in a real-world setting.
