Develop the skills required to make sound investment and financing decisions – either for yourself or for a business. You’ll cover topics such as bonds and shares, capital budgeting, cash flow and valuation, and interest rate principles. Although a significant component of the course involves working with numbers, you do not need a high level of mathematics and statistics skills. However, you are expected to be proficient with Microsoft Excel.
