This course will explore the regulation of banks with a focus on risk management, including the role of the Basel Committee in setting international standards for banking, and how the legal framework in the UK for the regulation and supervision of banks changed in response to the financial crisis. You’ll also explore the relationship between banks and their customers under English Law, and learn about the features of and types of debt finance and derivative transaction.
