Introduction

Finance is a decision-oriented discipline that is complex, challenging and dynamic.

It’s about managing money and capital in the real world: making practical financial decisions that can add value to a business and the economy.

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).

An understanding of Finance is essential to business, and Finance majors succeed in rewarding and highly-paid careers.

Why study Finance?

Every person and every organisation raises and spends money. 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 test
predictions; 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.

Above all, Finance is exciting. You will often have to make swift decisions concerning large amounts of money and resources.
