Modules
Bank Strategy and Competition (15 Credits) - Core

The aim of the module is to introduce students to the competitive landscape facing the financial services industry. It will enable them to consider the effects of this competitive environment on key aspects of the sector, such as the impact of new business models on the principles and structures of lending. It will support students in developing a critical analysis of the structures and strategies of the industry and in establishing an understanding of global banking businesses and market structures. It will also set out a framework for international comparison, which will be drawn upon to synthesise a critical analysis of challenges facing the financial services sector.
Bank Risk Management and Regulation (30 Credits) - Core

This module reflects the interwoven relationship between risk and regulation in the management and control of banking institutions. It will support students in developing a framework for evaluating the process of managed risk-taking in financial services markets. Students will gain an understanding of the way decision-making links to the risks that need to be measured and managed. The module will enable students to evaluate the work of regulators in ensuring that all types of financial services institutions manage risk appropriately and to understand why these institutions are expected to put risk-based models at the centre of decision-making. Students will be introduced to contrasting regulatory and compliance structures and will be able to critically analyse competing concepts of regulatory control. Furthermore, students will gain insights into the benefits and complexities of prescriptive systems vs. principle-based regulatory systems.
Financial and Bank Accounting (15 Credits) - Core

The module will develop a foundation in fundamental financial accounting concepts to provide students with a sound technical base from which to accelerate their learning into more specific financial analysis. Consequently, there is a strong practical element to the module. The wider accounting perspectives will also be covered to integrate the broader aspects including sustainability, corporate governance and financial risk management.
