What have been your journey leading you to RULE? 

I have been involved in the Master’s degree in Euro-Asian Trade and Economics since 2023. As part of this programme, I have taught financial analysis at two universities in South East Asia: Foreign Trade University Hanoi and RULE.

Can you describe how the course(s) you teach are relevant in the current context? 

Financial analysis is a crucial skill for anyone working in international business development. The course goes over the basics of financial analysis, i.e. understanding the company based on a detailed analysis of its financial statements. For international business developers, financial analysis is a cornerstone of economic decision-making.
