About

APU's recognition as a CMT Association Academic Partner Program demonstrates the institution's strong commitment to students' career preparedness and applied learning. Institutions in the CMT's Academic Partner Program demonstrate academic rigor in a variety of financial courses, including quantitative methods, behavioral finance, portfolio management, and other critical components of technical analysis.

With this collaboration, the two schools demonstrate a creative response to the increasing need for student education and professional preparation, while also advocating for the progress of technical analysis.

In this course, students will have the knowledge and understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of investment and risk management. Other than that, the knowledge and skills that will be learned here will become essential for students to analyse complex situations that occur in financial decision-making. The exposure to a more in-depth understanding of financial risk management and undertaking project will teach students to explore this area in a more analytical way.
