To pass the module you must achieve an overall minimum mark of 50%. If you pass the module on re-assessment, the component you resit will be capped at a pass mark level of 50%.

This coursework constitutes 100% of the assessment for this module. It is an individual assignment (3000 words). Students are required to write a report by completing the following Academic/Bloomberg based questions. Students will need to access Bloomberg on campus to do research and collect data to answer specific questions. Bloomberg Professional service is the premier provider for financial data and analysis. Students benefit from integrating theory with real-world practice. The designed Bloomberg based questions in the module on international corporate finance will help students connect relevant theories and models in the real-world and collect empirical evidence to analyse and evaluate major corporate activities and decisions made by global firms. Students will also understand the international financial system and its implications for international trade, equity and debt financing through international money markets and capital markets. By applying Bloomberg, students will learn how global firms use the functioning of the major capital and money markets and international banking to meet their funding, liquidity, and risk management objectives. Moreover, students can deepen their research, data collection and transformation skills, develop analytical skills and written communication, and make financial decisions based on actual events and real data.
