Teaching and supervision

Courses

Accounting and Finance (MSc)

Modules taught

Undergraduate Business and Finance Synoptic; Undergraduate Sustainable Investment; Postgraduate Strategic Business Leader; Postgraduate Research Project; Postgraduate Sustainable Finance

While I have super-interesting things to say about the wonderful world of Finance, I know that not everyone want to sit and listen to me speaking. Therefore my teaching is based on student engagement and activity - both in the classroom or computer lab, and in the time spent in independent learning. Thus learning becomes a demanding but fulfilling experience.

Supervision

I supervise postgraduate projects in the areas of sustainable finance and investment.
