Course Description

This course is aimed at people who would like to venture in one of the many careers related to financial services. The first year of studies introduces learners to generic areas of financial services including the world of insurance. In the second year of studies, learners will then choose an area of specialisation. Specialisation can be either in financial services or else in insurance. This approach ensures that any learner following this course is exposed to different areas of the financial services world, thus giving them better flexibility in career prospects. Learners choosing the main area of expertise will be very strong in the specific area chosen, while having a good understanding of the other area.
Students taking this course at the Gozo Campus can only pursue the Financial Services specialisation stream in the second year of the course. Students opting for the Insurance Studies stream will need to continue their studies at the MCAST Main Campus in Paola.
