The degree at a glance
Malaysia finance at Sunway: what this degree is and is not
The Bachelor (Honours) in Finance at Sunway University is accredited in Malaysia as (R/0412/6/0009) (03/30) (MQA/FA12200). Sunway describes it as training in accounting, banking, fintech, investment and quantitative methods, with an internship with securities firms. On successful completion, graduates are also awarded a degree from Lancaster University, so you hold certificates from both universities.
This is not the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Accounting and Finance, which Sunway lists as a separate programme. Pick Finance if your interest is banking, markets, investment and financial technology rather than audit and taxation.
