These core modules are largely of a quantitative nature, thereby giving students a toolkit of skills with which to measure, benchmark and control business outcomes and develop an understanding of the broader business environment. Secondly the program takes students into specialist knowledge areas of banking and finance, marketing and business systems. Given the volatile nature of economies manifest in events like the Global Financial Crisis, the necessity for a fundamental understanding of corporate law and financial and banking operations and regulations is also included to ensure students graduate with a strong ethical framework from which to make decisions for themselves, their companies and clients. The program benefits from the input from several industry leaders from South East Asian region giving the program a cultural context and examples necessary for the success of graduates n the increasingly Asian Century. This will enable graduates to work across industry sectors and roles as business professionals. | |||
