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.
