5 3. Programme Description 3.1 Overview The recent financial crises in the USA and Europe triggered the interest of the public towards the international interlinks of investment banking. According to the Graduate Market Report 2016, investment banking alone (without banking and finance) is the fourth industry in the United Kingdom with the largest number of graduate vacancies in The investment banking sector also offers the highest graduate salaries across all industries or business sectors. Investment Banking roles vary from wealth managers, private bankers and corporate financiers to compliance officers and analysts. This programme will critically evaluate current concepts and techniques in banking, finance, risk management, and other areas associated with international investment banking. It will introduce you to a range of empirical research methods, services and practices in the investment banking industry. A feature of the programme concerns regulation and policy interventions on banking and finance. The modules you will take consider international aspects of banking and finance and you will have the opportunity to perform research based on your chosen country. A minimum 2:2 honours degree and grade C or above in GCSE Mathematics is required for entry. International Students will require English Language at IELTS 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in each element, or equivalent. The University of Lincoln offers international students (non EU/UK) who do not meet the direct entry requirements for a postgraduate degree course the option of completing a pre-master's programme at the University s International Study Centre. The programme consists of eight taught modules and an independent study element supported with a module in research methods and design. All modules are compulsory: Term 1 - Commercial Bank Management - Private Banking and Wealth Management - Quantitative Methods for Economics and Finance I - Portfolio Analysis Term 2 - Investment Banking - Risk Management in Banking - Quantitative Methods for Economics and Finance II - International Macroeconomics and Finance In addition you will undertake: - Research Methods for Banking, Finance and Economics - Independent Study for Banking, Finance and Economics The programme is targeted at both full-time and part-time students at both local (Home/EU) and international students. Part-time students will take two modules per teaching term. The mix of modules for each term will be agreed upon with the programme leader and will depend on the background of the student. To qualify for a Postgraduate Certificate in International Investment Banking, you should have Page 5/23
6 completed satisfactorily sixty credits involving modules from all the three core programme areas: a Quantitative Methods (Quantitative Methods for Economics and Finance I or Quantitative Methods for Economics and Finance II), a Finance (International Macroeconomics and Finance, Portfolio Analysis) and a Banking (Commercial Bank Management, Private Banking and Wealth Management, Investment Banking, Risk Management in Banking) module. The Business School organises a series of career events on an annual basis to inspire and support students in securing a job and thinking about their career development in the longer term. The events provide examples of career roles and journeys and create opportunities to network with employers. More information about the University s career services can be found from the following website: Aims and Objectives The overall aim of the programme is to enhance students' horizons on investment banking and to provide the students with the skills and critical mindset to conduct in-depth and innovative analysis to make sound investment decisions. More specifically, the programme objectives are to: - Provide a challenging and a highly rewarding student learning experience based on research informed teaching - Equip students with the theoretical and empirical foundations of investment banking with a focus on applying theory to resolve practical problems - Inculcate in students the desire and drive to engage in a continuous learning process they are required to adopt for pursuing a career in investment banking The QAA Subject Benchmark statement for Master's programmes in Business and Management (2015) has been used as a reference point in developing the programme. 3.3 Variations to Standard Regulations and Guidance None.

Page 8/23
9 5. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies 5.1. Learning and Teaching Strategy Students are expected to become aware of the interrelations of the concepts and frameworks in international investment banking. Modules commence with theory and tools in the practice of investment banking and culminate in more decision-based assessments. Although didactic teaching remains important, group discussions of professional situations and problems, making use of case studies as well as professional bodies' guidelines will be emphasised. It is expected that students will bring their own professional experiences to the classroom. While investment banking operations can be either national or international, the programme will put more emphasis on the international side of this sector in support of the University's internationalisation agenda, with modules covering topics of international relevance. The programme employs different teaching and learning methods designed to meet its aims. The teaching style varies because of the individual module objectives. For example, in Quantitative Methods for Finance module, statistical software will be taught in computer labs. In International Finance, students will work with macro data, based on theory. Risk Management in Banking will use case studies as well as regulatory directives from international banking authorities. Bond Pricing and Fund Management concentrates on the applied and empirical aspect of portfolio management theory. All banking modules (Commercial Bank Management, Private Banking and Wealth Management, and Investment Banking) will provide insight on the operations of banks and other financial institutions. Apart from the suggested textbooks, students are expected to read journal articles and current news. All lecturers will include discussions and debating opportunities in their classes. Class sizes remain small allowing for the interactive teaching and learning approach needed for professional oriented and academically coherent subject areas. Mature students have the opportunity to bring to the class their own experiences from different professional environments. The use of technology is an important element of the programme and student learning. For example, Datastream provides students with the real data, while EViews is the statistical software package used for statistical analysis across the modules. The programme also endorses the use of on-line learning resources, bulletin boards and discussion groups. The University's virtual communication system (Blackboard) will be used as a platform for this activity. The University of Lincoln regards students as collaborators in the production of knowledge. This teaching and learning philosophy is referred to as the Student as Producer principle. Accordingly, students learn through their own research as well as through traditional models of teaching. In the Business School, the programmes support this principle through the provision of technologies and learning spaces which may include DATASTREAM, EVIEWS, FT.COM, and STATA. Students also research organisational settings, individual behaviour, and the developments of the markets and the business environment to learn about and produce analysis in the business and management area. According to the Student as Producer principle, learning is more effective when it takes place in a collaborative way. On accounting, finance or economics, students engage in class discussion and exercises to learn together. There may also be more formal group work that leads to an assessment. The students also embark on an independent study project through which they investigate a topic related to accounting, finance or economics by collecting and interrogating primary or secondary data. The Business School has an excellent Library support network and students are encouraged to make use of the dedicated Library support team. There is an active English Language Support Centre where students can enhance their English without additional fees. In addition there is Maths and Page 9/23
10 Stats help available in the library Assessment Strategy The programme's learning outcomes are assessed through written exams and individual coursework. Feedback is offered to students on formative assessments. For those modules that are exam assessed, formative mock exams will take place in order to help students to understand the structure of the exam and evaluate their learning before a graded assessment. Details of module assessment strategies are included within each module specification. A research dissertation is supported by research training sessions and by the emphasis which individual modules place on research. It is planned that formal assessment submissions will be made via Turnitin, a software through which lecturers can provide written feedback and check the originality of submitted work. Page 10/23
