You examine the important role of financial markets and institutions in a global context.

You study the role played by private banks and explore the workings of key financial markets such as stock markets, foreign exchange markets and futures markets, given their centrality to business activity.

You also explore issues surrounding the causes of financial crises, the regulation of financial markets and the role of central banks in relation to interest rates. A comparative perspective on financial centres across the globe and real world case studies are used throughout.
