Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The students work in groups on a financial problem or topic relevant for the financial industry using the analytical skills acquired in the courses taken so far. Based on the analysis, the students write a report. Student groups suggest two topics from which one is selected and
an academic supervisor is appointed. The supervisor can assist the
group in the exact problem formulation, in the problem analysis,
and in ensuring that the report lives up to academic
standards. One of the two topics can be formulated in
cooperation with a company in which case the report resembles
a consulting report, researched and written by a team of junior
consultants (students), but the analysis and report still have to
meet academic standards. The business project is written in
the course of 5-6 weeks. The report is evaluated by the academic
supervisor. If a company is involved in the project, the students
must also prepare an executive summary for the company.
