Course Aims

This course facilitates students to develop insights about the latest developments in the banking finance industries and acquire knowledge of current practices in the financial markets.

Through seminars delivered by financial experts and business professionals on the latest developments in the financial markets, students get to develop their discovery skills for analysing the latest issues in the industry.

To evaluate students’ accomplishments of discovery in putting forward their own analyses, and recommendations where applicable, students are required to write two reports for the course. Students may expand on what the speakers lecture on for their reports.

In addition, students will be guided to follow the business etiquette when attending meetings: preparing before, attending on time, paying attention, asking follow up questions and showing respect to speakers.

The individual reports reflect students’ own analyses of the issues that the speakers lecture on and provide evidence of their accomplishments of discovery. As some seminars are related to current issues with no definite resolutions of the problems, students may provide their own viewpoints in their reports that are opposite to what the speakers would present as long as they justify these views using their own analyses and recommendations.
