Banking and Finance explore the dynamic and fast-moving world of money, stocks, credit and investments. Finance is an integral part of our economy as it provides liquidity in the form of money and assets that individuals and businesses need to invest in in the future.
If you major in banking and finance, you'll learn about the systematic movement and management of money. In an enterprise, the treasury function enables activities to be equity or debt-financed, enabling enterprises to choose projects that add value and manage cash flow, risk, and liquidity for the benefit of stakeholders. Financial markets are very important and understanding the pricing of assets and derivative securities is essential.
Financial intermediaries such as banks are important players in these financial markets. Banking is also a global industry with more than 60 banks operating across Nigeria and Africa as a whole and thousands of institutions and investors around the world dealing with money circulation, credit, investment, finance and pensions. As a result of this, Finance is constantly changing, making it a fascinating field of study.
