Description
ABOUT THE MODULE
In order to meet the demanding world for students not able to attend classes all the time due to commitments or geographical issues we have decided to expand our offering to cater for all students as we strive to keep up with the Fourth Industrial Revolution(4IR). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic our venue based classes are temporarily suspended and we offer Zoom online classroom, consultation via Zoom and videos to ensure that you have all the resources you need on your journey to be a graduate.
Student is expected to demonstrate knowledge of and engagement in financial risks and sources of market risk affecting organisations by explaining the risks and risk factors.
For this module you will need the prescribed textbook [John-C.-Hull]-Risk-Management-and-Financial-Institutions 5th edition. Book provided at no extra cost. The choice of the calculator is up to you whether its SHARP or HP. As we go through the curriculum the tutor will show you the steps to use both calculators. Our videos are tailored towards what is relevant to the exam for this module so we do not spend unnecessary time on concepts which the lecturer does not emphasize on.
