Finance
Academic Areas
The Finance area at Haskayne aims to be a leading centre for research and teaching excellence. Our objective is to conduct innovative and impactful theoretical and empirical research and to bring the latest finance knowledge and skills to graduate and undergraduate students.
Our faculty regularly publishes in top finance, economics, and business journals. Through our regular seminar series, we invite finance scholars from around the world to present their recent research. We also contribute to financial research through the training of PhD students who then become faculty members at other academic institutions or become practitioners in the finance industry.
Our teaching approach mixes theory, case analysis, experiential learning and mentorship for students who participate in competitions and industry visits across Canada and internationally. Some of our unique experiential learning opportunities include instruction in the N. Murray Edwards Trading and Finance Lab, a hands-on Trading and Market Data Management course where undergraduate students learn to access data feeds, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) course where students learn an emerging financial technology, our student managed investment portfolio, the Calgary Portfolio Management Trust and the first university-based private equity fund managed for students by students in Western Canada, the UCeed Haskayne Student Fund.
