Abstract:

In 2018, the Petrozavodsk State University for a master's degree in Economics and Finance began classes in the discipline "Financial Security." The relevance of this discipline lies in the fact that in the context of the globalization of financial relations, the active participation of a large number of people through various digital platforms in the work of financial markets, students have a high interest in financial security and they want to develop the relevant skills. Whereas previously only narrow specialists of state institutions and large companies were interested in financial security, today this discipline is interesting to a wide range of students.

Since the beginning of the teaching of the discipline at Petrozavodsk State University, methodological and methodical approaches to teaching financial security in the digital economy have been developed, taking into account the needs of students. This research paper summarizes the experience of teaching financial security over the years. The result of the work done was the following: first, a successful idea was to consider financial security at three levels: the state, corporate and household levels. Secondly, the curriculum focused on comparative analysis of financial security in the 20th century and in the digital economy. The paper also summarizes the problems that have arisen in teaching financial security for masters of economic training.
