The goal of professionals working in corporate finance is to make sound financial decisions in an environment constrained by a given legal and regulatory framework, culture, and history. A financial decision could be right in one country but wrong in another. Many key financial decisions, such as mergers and acquisitions, managerial remuneration, dividend policies, and project valuation differ substantially across countries.
The development of the Chinese economy in the reform era has been based on millions of newly created enterprises. These range from world-class corporations such as Bank of China and Sinopec down to small local business like restaurants or barber shops. Today, China is responsible for half of the world’s production for the majority of key industrial products, and the growth and survival of those big and small firms all rely on one element - corporate finance.
The MSc Corporate Finance in Contemporary China is designed to teach students how to make strategic financial decisions based on well established financial theories and practices, and taking Chinese characteristics into consideration, enabling them after graduation to move into important jobs involving strategic corporate financial decision-making. Students will also develop the theoretical and methodological skills necessary to pursue further postgraduate research.
This full-time taught Masters programme is ideally suited to students with a background in finance, accounting, mathematics, statistics, and economics and a strong interest in contemporary China.
It is suitable for both UK and non-UK students, including those from China.
