Sustainability and Digitalisation at the Forefront of Research and Teaching

An awareness of our changing world has been translated into ambitious initiatives such as the founding of our virtual, cross-disciplinary platform, the House for Sustainable Governance and Markets (HSGM) and the development of our Chair and research programme in Sustainable Finance. Aligned with the University’s goals, we understand the need to look squarely at these important issues and give the younger generation of professionals and researchers the tools necessary to make a positive impact on the world they will inherit.

To that end, we have also opened a track in Digital Transformation in Finance for students who wish to combine studies in finance with data analytics and computer programming, and a track in Digital Procurement for students in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with an interest in how digitalisation, including data science and machine learning is contributing to the evolution of the field.

Focus on Interdisciplinary Initiatives

Working together to create new knowledge

Today, it’s not enough to stay locked into one discipline. To understand the bigger picture, we have to expand our scope and look further than our departments and our faculty. We actively support this vision of higher education. With rapid change and technological leaps forward creating an ever-shifting paradigm, we see our role as a node in a larger network of knowledge.

Whether it be through interdisiplinary doctoral training units, research projects with other faculties, centers and extenral partners or course offerings which provide students with multi-skill training to face the practical demands of professional life, the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance plans to continue to bring its unique expertise and vision of excellence to the larger University community for years to come.
