The paper of Finance as a discipline in the workplace has changed through the years and has changed from something that only a few worried about to a daily need for almost every position. Therefore, the push for a more capable and readier to work alumni group in finance has been a key question throughout these years. This thesis analysis the efficiency of the universities on delivering alumni that are ready to cope with those needs, focusing on the alumni from two different faculties, similar in size and reputation, and inquiring them to understand how many financial instruments, from a selected group, do they know when exiting the university. The study focus was on determining how big is the difference in knowledge between the financial course and the management course? If there is any difference between the two faculties in teaching efficiency? And made a self-criticizing inquiry around the usage of each of the chosen instruments on the financial work space? The results were in some way as expected and showed that the students are exiting the faculties with some knowledge on finance but the companies that receive them expect them to have a deeper knowledge of the subject.
