Financial Markets and Institutions introduces you to the financial markets environment in which business organisations operate. The course presents an overview of the financial system and its various financial markets, instruments and institutions. You will investigate the nature and role of the main financial markets as well as the role of regulatory bodies in the financial system. Within this framework, the course is practically based and enables you to critically analyse problems in real-life treasury dealing situations using live data. Students collaborate in small teams during those simulation sessions and report on the simulated trading activities.
