Learning Objectives

The aim of the module is to learn research methods and the working concepts of financing by means of selected topics. The students will identify, analyse and evaluate the relevant problems from selected issues. Allowing for the current state of expert methods, independent solutions will be produced and justified.

The method of problem solving as well as the achieved results must be demonstrated and defended in a term paper as well as in a presentation (group and/or individual presentation).

Content

Selected areas of financing will be covered (e.g. management of price risks with futures trading, management of credit risk, asset valuation, valuation of firms). The main topic of the seminar is an intensive discussion on the state of current research on selected problems of finance, including theory-based and application-oriented questions. The subject matter of the tutorial is moreover a discussion regarding appropriate methodological approaches and techniques, research, preparation, editorial layout and the presentation of academic content.
