One behalf of faculty, staff and students of the Department of Finance, I want to warmly welcome you. The finance department is a relatively small, almost bespoke one with faculty at the cutting-edge of teaching and research in areas as diverse as investment management, financial markets, derivatives and equities. We also do a lot of work in financial literacy. Our faculty have published in top-tier journals and granted audience to newspapers on these topics.
We continue to graduate students in Bachelor and Master’s of Commerce degrees in Finance. In addition, we collaborate in offering a PhD in Business Administration. In the coming year, we are rolling out new programmes in Risk Management, Financial Engineering and Public Financial Management. Our graduates are in high demand across every industry across the country. This is the result of a carefully selected curriculum that incorporates the skills and competencies required at the workplace of the 21 st Century. Students go through this curriculum hands-on using tools like Python and R for their analysis.
The department is in the School of Business building which houses a well-equipped library and the UCC/ACCA Resource Centre. You will have these and many more of such first-class facilities as you go through our programme.
We hope you will spend time exploring what we offer in the department. The department’s doors are opened to you if you are planning to join us.
Thank you for your interest in the Department of Finance and do not hesitate to contant us on daf@ucc.edu.gh.
Best regards
Carl Hope Korkpoe, PhD
Head, Department of Finance
