Ride the E-Learning Wave to International Finance


Come August, PurpleTrain.com will be launching the highly anticipated Master of Science in International Finance from the University of Wales. This programme is designed to empower students with an excellent corporate finance grounding based on a mix of specific and broad business oriented subjects directly applicable to today’s knowledge-based economy.

The course aims to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in business and management from operational to strategic level. It also aims to enhance and affirm the student’s previous managerial experience as a financial or business manager and to develop advanced technical, analytical as well as managerial skills for financial decision making.
It will also increase the working knowledge in the discipline of corporate finances for managers in general.
