LEARNING OUTCOMES
- The financial sector has limited trained human resources with relevant skills at the
level of a postgraduate qualification in financial services, yet emerging financial
markets and the global linkages in the financial sector urgently need qualified
human resources at the graduate level. Graduates of MAFS will be equipped with
analytical skills with focus on strategic issues in banking, microfinance, securities
and capital markets and will examine the impact of global financial management
including information technology (IT) on the business environment. For graduates
in management positions, this programme will provide an understanding of
management in a financial services environment, including strategy formulation
and implementation as well as contemporary issues facing the industry. A team
experienced bankers and academicians will provide you with in-depth and practical
training with case studies throughout the course.
