Finance and society

This unit is intended to contextualise your acquired knowledge for solving problems in real world domestic and global situations. As a capstone unit, it should be studied in the final semester of the banking and finance major as it draws upon and integrates learning from previous units studied. The unit encourages you to recognise that finance is a powerful tool for solving our common problems, and increasing the general wellbeing, but may give rise to ethical dilemmas. You will be exposed to choices and conflicts requiring judgement and thus appreciate that finance can play an important role in helping society achieve its goals.
