Course details
Core units
International Accounting & Analysis: Explore the principles for producing financial statements, outline the theoretical and regulatory framework financial accounting operates in and offer techniques for analysing corporate financial reporting.
International Corporate Finance: The aims of this unit are to address the importance of the corporate finance function in an internationally diverse corporation and to offer a framework for assisting corporate decision makers in a complex, dynamic and inherently uncertain external environment.
Economics of Money & Financial Markets: A solid grounding in the economic concepts surrounding the monetary system and financial markets.
International Direct Taxation: The globalisation of business means that firms must not only understand the domestic tax systems in the states in which they operate, but also the ways in which those systems interact. Direct taxes at the federal level usually account for between 10 and 30 per cent of pre-tax profits and this unit aims to foster an understanding of the international tax system and the principal tax planning techniques open to multinational firms.
Portfolio Construction & Theory: The aim of this unit is to equip you with the knowledge of finance theory and the ability to structure portfolios of financial assets within that context.
International Investment Management: To understand the workings, structure and importance of the global investment marketplace and its role in risk analysis and management at practical and theoretical levels.
Core units

Option units
Optional Work Experience: You will have the opportunity to undertake work experience as part of the research project unit, subject to interview and availability.
