Finance, Tax and Advice

Profile of the programme

The activities of graduates of Finance, Tax and Advice are focussed in identifying and analysing financial risks undertaken by both commercial and private clients. They have the ability to translate client data into high-quality financial services. To this end, they have developed effective skills in analysing, problem solving and communication as well as competencies relevant to banking, insurance and tax advice. Graduates work to high professional standards and act in a manner stipulated by the professional code. As service providers, graduates work from the basic assumption that return, risk and customer relations need to be constantly weighed against each other. They have developed practical and integrated knowledge and skills which are appropriate to be a  successful financial or tax adviser.
