Introduction

Finance, as a major and as a career path, has a growing demand in Egypt and worldwide. The field of finance is needed in every business and not only in firms working in the field of investment and finance. This growing demand from the professionals and employers has a direct effect on the future of the graduates. Therefore, choosing finance as a major would contribute positively on the future and success of our students and graduates.

 

The course opens broad and wide career opportunities to the graduates in multiple professions. Banking institutions and investment banking industries represent the core of any successful economy, and the modernisation of the Egyptian financial sector has already created a nonstop demand for finance career opportunities.

 

The employability of a finance graduate is not limited to the financial sector, because each and every business no matter its speciality is in need for a financial expert to lead its long term and critical investment decisions. Even on the individual life, the investment planning is becoming an attractive field that is increasingly gaining attention and demand by individuals’ wealth management in Egypt.

 

Finance is considered as a science but also it is considered as an art. It is a science because it has its solid foundations and theories, and it is an art because it is open for creativity and inspiration and each finance practitioner can be imaginative in his own way. That is why financial products and services are literally unlimited and keep witnessing each day a new development and invention.

Minors

MSA University is always keen to offer its students a competitive edge to complement their Bachelor degrees. And because many students are interested to acquire a strong foundation in many areas of study, MSA University decided to introduce minors that will be of interest to MSAians with high academic achievement, in many exciting areas.

 

Earning a minor allows students to address their diverse academic interests and develop extra skills, which for a future employer is very important to show that they have a second area of expertise. The student can chose a minor that goes in handy with the student’s major or a minor that is in a totally different field to add excitement to their studying experience at MSA. For example, if you’re an Engineering student, how about taking up a Management minor? You sure would like to open up your own business one day, and you’ll certainly need to learn more about organizational management and how to become a great leader.

 

It's a very flexible way to plan ahead and combine their areas of interest and save time and money in their years of university study; it only consists of 5 courses. The only requirement is a minimum of CGPA 2.00 in the first year in university.

 

It’s worthy to mention that taking a minor will extend the student’s regular graduation time by one semester. Chose a minor and stand out!
