The department is currently developing a Master of Finance Programme which has already been passed by the department and is awaiting the schools approval process.

The programmes are offered during the day under the Module I programme and in the evening under the Module II programme. Day classes commence at 7.00am while evening classes start after work hours at 5.30pm. Module I mode of delivery targets fresh minds who have just completed high school and intent to pursue a career in Accountancy or Finance in future. The Module II programme is intended for persons who are already working and would like to further their studies but are not able to do so during the day due to pressure of work. The evening classes therefore provide a good opportunity for them.
