Our new bachelor level microdegree is designed for those interested in starting an international career in finance. The content is aligned to the equivalent topics in the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Applied Skills exams and CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Level 1 requirements. Faculty and students of different nationalities create a unique cultural space which broadens your worldview and encourages to think big.
The microdegree is part of a business administration programme (bachelor level) that has received the highest international recognition among business schools - accredited by EFMD.
Participation in the program does not require a bachelor's degree, but requires basic knowledge of finance or previous work experience in the financial field.

The key points of this microdegree are

• The framework and standards for financial reporting;
• Presentation and interpretation of financial statements for a single entity and a group;
• Financial markets and institutions;
• Investment portfolios, risk and return;
• Fundraising and capital structure;
• Ethical standards for finance professionals.

The Core Competencies in Finance and Accounting training program could be beneficial and interesting for the following individuals taking into account that learners should have prior foundational knowledge in finance and accounting:

• Recent graduates in economics, business management, or accounting who wish to enhance their knowledge and gain practical skills in the field of finance and accounting.
• Working professionals in finance and accounting who seek to deepen their knowledge and advance their careers in this field.
• Experienced business owners and managers who want to improve their financial management skills and gain a better understanding of their company's financial aspects.
