1 BF214 FINANCIAL MARKETS AND INSTITUTIONS Course Description and Scope The objectives of the course are to prepare students with a good understanding of the theoretical foundation of financial market and institutions, and to keep students updated on the latest discourse on practical issues and policies in the new international financial environment. The latter are rarely found in textbooks. With an overview of the global financial markets and institutions, students would find it beneficial when joining related industries in the international financial community. The scope of the course comprises the diversity of financial institutions and financial markets, the more creative financial instruments, and the latest developments in the financial arena - regional as well as international. Descriptive elements will be covered primarily by the prescribed readings that will be left to the initiative of each student. Students are also advised to keep in touch with current affairs and developments through wider reading than just the recommended materials. Consistent with the concept of creative learning commended by the Government and the philosophy of learning through self-discovery implemented by the School, it is by design that quite a number of the tutorial questions would not be covered by lectures before hand. Students are expected to learn through their own research, articulation of their own views and exchange of opinion during tutorials, an area that needs development through encouragement. Students are not expected to answer textbook style questions. The emphasis of the course is, and accordingly reflected in the course assessment, on the theoretical understanding of key concepts, an appreciation of the practical relevance and active tutorial participation. Students would find the course challenging and rewarding with commensurate efforts.
