What will I learn?

Finance focuses on investments (including portfolio theory) corporate finance (how businesses make internal financial decisions) derivatives (the study of financial securities deriving their value from other assets’ values) and international finance (finance across borders).Finance examines the theory and practice of this process, with particular attention to the measurement and management of risk. It’s about deciding how money is allocated in the real world.Finance is both a science and an art – a science because it systematically analyses information and uses it to make and testpredictions an art because these activities are not exact and there is frequently no ''right'' answer.Finance deals not only with the measurable, ''quantitative'' aspects, but also with the unmeasurable, in which intuition and experience play a strong role. Skills in these areas are invaluable in the workplace.
