BSC PROGRAM IN FINANCE

The objective of the Bachelor's program in Accounting, Finance, and Business Law is to give the student essential professional skills necessary for success in nearly any job description within the modern business environment. These skills include the interpretation and production of company financial information, an understanding of the functioning of capital markets, and the legal issues related to companies and taxation. The weight given to different issues is different in each of the three specializations within the program. The only specialisation which is offered in English is Finance.


The objective of the specialization in Finance is to give the students a fundamental understanding of pricing financial instruments, obtaining corporate financing from various sources, evaluating the costs of these funds, and analyzing value creation within a company. Core topics within the Finance specialization include the principles of investment analysis, sources of financing, short and long term financial planning, mergers and acquisitions, capital structure and dividend policy, functioning of stock and fixed income markets, securities valuation, asset management, derivatives and risk management, and pricing options, futures and other derivatives.
