Additional Information

As EF3333 (Financial Systems, Markets and Instruments) is the major required course for BBA in Finance, and major elective course for BSc in Computational Finance, so students who are major in one of these programmes should take EF3333 (Financial Systems, Markets and Instruments) instead of CB3044 (Introduction to Financial Markets) as both courses are exclusive courses.
