Finance subjects as breadth
A basic knowledge of finance benefits a wide variety of career choices where careful financial decision making is necessary. Finance professionals need strong quantitative skills. For students studying science and engineering, the discipline of finance provides great opportunities to apply those quantitative skills in practice. Financial decisions often involve behavioural elements. Psychology students may find the discipline of finance a natural experimental laboratory. An understanding of Personal Financial Management will be valuable in managing your personal finances throughout your life.
Finance studies how individuals, businesses and institutions raise funds to implement investment strategies, and how they allocate these funds to a variety of investment opportunities.
See the About Commerce page for more information about finance.
