Program overview
Post-Baccalaureate Diploma - Finance at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. A two year post-baccalaureate diploma in finance, covering corporate finance, investment analysis, financial markets, risk management, financial modelling and reporting.
The content maps onto the analyst roles that finance actually recruits into at entry level, and modelling capability is the differentiator. One point governs everything else about the finance diploma route: it is a non degree credential, so work permit standing is not automatic and is governed by the field of study rules applying to non degree programmes rather than the exemption degrees receive. Apply Study Visa confirms the finance position in writing before any deposit is paid.
