Students from a leading university in China will have the opportunity to study at the ICMA Centre at Henley Business School as part of a new double Masters programme.

Zhejiang University International Business School will offer students enrolled on its two-year MSc Finance the opportunity to spend a year studying the MSc Finance and Financial Technology or one of the other MScs offered at the ICMA Centre.

Located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang University is ranked in the top 100 universities in Times Higher Education’s World Reputation Rankings.

Henley already collaborates with Zhejiang on research, teaching and doctoral supervision in entrepreneurship.

Dr Simone Varotto, Postgraduate Programme Area Director at Henley Business School, said:

“We are delighted to start this collaboration with such a prestigious Chinese university. We look forward to welcoming the students of this exciting double degree and contributing to their academic success and future careers.

Dr Hung-Yi Chen, Academic Director for the Master of Finance Programme at Zhejiang University, added:

“The combination of expert teaching from both institutions across finance and technology will give students a global perspective to develop the broad intellectual capital they need to tackle challenges in the world today.”

Peer to Peer (P2P) Lending – ‘Bank on Dave’ and many others

4 March 2013
If you live in the UK, you may have seen the Channel 4 television programme on 28th February this year (2013) entitled ‘Bank on Dave’. Burnley Savings and Loans to give it its other name, is a company (not a bank) which offers 5% ‘deposit’ rates to lenders and offers loans to those who cannot obtain funding from the high street banks. So how does Dave do this when the high street banks offer no interest at all or perhaps only ½ or 1%? In fact ‘Dave’ is one of a new breed of ‘brokers’ who simply introduce lenders and borrowers to each other. The key difference from banks is that banks have a balance sheet with a depositor contract on one side and a separate contract with its borrowers on the other whereas a peer to peer company has no such contracts and indeed is not even involved at all in borrowing or lending! This is because in P2P, lending contracts are directly between borrower and lenders and the P2P company does not take ‘deposits’ on to its own balance sheet or keep the loans its customers make on its balance sheet.
