I need info on Finance subjects

(1/2) > >>

Edmund:
Im doing a Science course and need to choose 2 breadth subjects. I was considering:

333-101 Finance 1

333-203 Introductory Personal Finance

Could anyone tell me what you learn in these subjects? I have no experience (or little) in these subjects so simple explanations would be great!

brendan:
Have  you taken a look in the handbook?

A good guide to what u will learn is to have a look at the exam

AppleXY:
333-101, you learn about financial markets, what finance is, interest calculations and more.

"This subject introduces students to finance and provides them with fundamental principles and institutional knowledge to progress in the discipline. Topics include direct financing and security yields, banking and the money market, the bond and equity markets, offshore finance and foreign exchange, the behaviour of financial variables, interest rate risk management and derivative securities. These topics will be used to illustrate fundamental financial concepts such as risk, return, and present value."

Thanks. Doesnt look too bad... Are the questions aboout the same (or repetitive) every year? Doesnt seem like there can be many ways to ask those questions.

Yep. The questions are usually about the same...usually they ask the same thing in different ways each year.
By the way..half of the exam is usually plugging in numbers into formulas, so if you can get the calculating questions right, then you would have passed!
