The Department combines two significant areas of work:

• International Finance - Analyzes Global Trends in International Finance in a Turbulent Dynamic Financial Market of XXI century. A special area of ​​interest is Croatia's relationship with International Financial Institutions, in particular the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank and other international and regional financial institutions.
• International investment management - analyzes investment in the global financial market, and investments of international financial institutions in developing countries, especially investment in tourism.

The department is actively involved in all activities of the Faculty. Its primary activities are related to the teaching, scientific and professional activities of the members. Continuing activity is manifested in the fulfillment of teaching duties on regular and extraordinary (Opatija and CIS Zabok) undergraduate studies and on regular and extraordinary graduate studies.

 Scientific activity is based on participation in scientific projects as well as participation in scientific and professional conferences at home and abroad where scientific and professional papers are published.

 The significance of the Department is derived from the field of action. It links two key areas of interest - international finance and investment. The research results of the members of the Department should contribute to Croatia's qualitative response to the dynamics of international financial flows in the function of achieving international investment and development.
