Overview
Finance studies address the ways in which money, investments, and financial systems influence individual choices, corporate strategies, and broader economic dynamics. At Lisburn University, we explore the many ways financial principles can be applied — and sometimes misapplied — to shape markets, businesses, and economies globally.
One day in class, your professor might present a real-world financial report or a stock market trend analysis. You and your classmates analyze, critique, and discuss the report from different angles, such as its underlying data, its economic implications, its potential risks, and its alignment with financial theories. Then you create your own financial model or investment proposal in response.
