Its new programme, the MSc International Finance was also introduced at the unveiling, aimed at individuals already involved in areas of Finance. Ram Ramesh, Programme Director of the M. Sc. International Finance, said that, “the need for the programme came out of what came in the last 18-24 months with the global financial collapse” noting that “what stuck was how the Central Bank and World Leaders struggled to get their hands around the crisis.”
All were invited to attend the Free Finance Forum entitled “Global Financial Meltdown - Market Correction or Human Greed?” on Thursday 25th, February at 6pm at the Lok Jack GSB.
