Taught Modules

MN-3004 Investment Banking

The module is designed to develop an awareness of how investment banking operates.
MN-3507 Risk Management in Banking

Banks are exposed to various risks as financial intermediaries, primarily including credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. As banks increasingly engage in more proprietary trading as well as off-balance sheet activities, they are also subject to additional risks such as market risk. Mismanagement of these risks may pose a detrimental effect on banks, banking system and wider economy as evidenced by the global financial crisis of 2007-2009. This module is designed to illustrate the major risks modern banks face and examine the measures and tools they can adopt to mitigate these risks. This module also updates the understanding of the latest international regulatory reforms and industry-wide development regarding the risk management post 2007-2009 crisis.
MN-M547 International Banking and Regulation

This module focuses on the study of financial institutions, in particular on the role of the banking system. Emphasis will be placed on the competition, behaviour and performance of financial intermediaries.
