3. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
The banking industry has been on the globalization trend with increasingly growing
financial service providers. The sector also offers potential and interesting career opportunities.
On the ground of its significance, this module covers theories and practices in banking
management. The topics are divided into seven five themes, comprising overview of the banking
sector; financial statements of banks; management and pricing of deposit services; management
of non-deposit liabilities; lending and credit risk management. This course provides students with
an understanding of the roles played by commercial banks, the various functions performed by
banks and the relevant regulations governing those functions. The course will also focus on
techniques used by managers to mobilize funds from deposits and borrowings, as well as to
finance loan requests.

Group Project
Students will be grouped for class presentation. In each presentation, there are one group of
presenters and one group of defenders. While the presenters show details of the assigned topic,
the defence group is mainly responsible for commenting and questioning. The remaining class
members provide additional comments and questions for clarification of the topic.
Class Participation
Class participation points will be based on general class attendance, contribution in class and
compliance with the class rules. Poor class attendance, little contribution in class or non-
compliance with class rules will result in a poor class participation grade.
Class rules are:
1. Arrive on time and be seated and ready to begin when the class begins. If you do arrive
late for more than 30 minutes, you will not be counted for that class. Note that this class is
intended for registered students only.
2. Read textbook and lecture notes carefully prior to classes.
3. Participate by contributing comments and questions during the discussions. The instructor
will call on students during the class if participants do not volunteer.
4. Please use common courtesy and polite manners in class.
