Being the youngest department of the Business faculty, we have tremendous potential in front of us to contribute to our nation's development; by nurturing our young undergraduates into successful corporate leaders, who will shape the world of finance.
We are excited to introduce our innovative Bachelor of Business Science in Financial Services Management (FSM) degree program, launched in 2020 to meet the ever-evolving needs of the financial services industry both locally and globally. The FSM degree program is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of finance, integrating key areas such as information technology, services management, financial services marketing, and business management. This program stands out among other related degrees by going beyond conventional financial sector studies, addressing emerging trends, updates, and the rich analytical aspects of finance.
With a curriculum that emphasizes technology, Fin-tech innovation, global financial trends, critical thinking and analyzing, our students are exceptionally prepared to meet the diverse demands of modern financial and accounting industries. Moreover, our students are guided to engage in business projects, research, industry visits, and workshops. Specially with the short-term and long-term industry training they are groomed for their future careers.
With great pride, I emphasize the dedication of our highly qualified and experienced staff members who work collaboratively to assist students in achieving their goals by identifying the unique significance of each student and ensuring personalized support and guidance. Currently, our department consists of one professor, four senior lecturers, two lecturers, and other members of academic and non-academic staff. Presently, the department has around 160 students from four batches.
Our primary objective is to produce graduates who are not only knowledgeable in finance and business but also adept at analyzing complex issues, making informed decisions, and utilizing advanced ICT tools. We emphasize the development of interpersonal skills, self-discipline, multicultural competence, and ethical conduct, ensuring our graduates are well rounded in their future. I strongly encourage all our students to take advantage from most of the abundant opportunities available to them.
