Throughout this  Investment and Financial Management course at the University of East Anglia  you’ll approach your subject from an international perspective, studying modules such as International Corporate Governance and Advanced Financial and Investment Management. This international focus means you can take insights from one region and apply them to another. For example you could take insights gained by studying a British case study and consider what might happen if they were applied to a Chinese business and vice versa.
