Course summary

Global Finance and its role in the world has never been more complex. Recent events have shown that it is more important than ever to have an understanding of the theory and intuition behind the practice of financial decision-making, risk management and the behaviour of financial markets. Although specific techniques may go out of date, the ability to think analytically and to understand the fundamentals of why something is done a certain way will be invaluable in the rapidly developing world of finance, and will be crucial for those who wish to progress to senior roles within financial institutions. This is key to the study of finance and its related disciplines at LSE.
