They also evaluate and critically appraise issues such as: the regulatory failures which may have contributed to the recent financial crisis; the legal structures and pitfalls of running depositor protection schemes; litigation and the management of crisis; investor fraud and banking systems failures; how the law can help control the use of the financial system for money laundering and terrorist support; what responsibilities the banks and financial institutions themselves have to counter money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities.
The optional modules (50 credits) enable you to acquire additional knowledge of other financial and legal topics. Typical modules include: money, space and power; international finance; behavioural finance; risk modelling; retail and investment banking; central banking; Islamic finance; and international finance.
