Introduction to Financing and Capital Markets

The course consists of two parts:

Part I "Introduction to Finance" - Prof. Dr. Michael Feucht: You will obtain a broad understanding of how a company finances its operations and how the company's liabilities are managed.

Part II "Capital Markets" - Prof. Dr. Björn Häckel: This part covers the models of Modern Portfolio Theory. You will need a basic understanding of statistics, so this part will only start after your statistics class has covered the necessary topics.

Course language for both parts of the course is English. Classroom sessions are face-2-face Thursdays from 8 am to 11.20 am in room in M1.02 (in the building next door).

There will be one final exam (90 minutes, 90 points) covering both topics of the module. Each part will consist of open questions and mathematical problems in English language and cover 45 points (of the total of 90). The exam has to be passed in total, i.e. you have to obtain at least 45 points. The two parts don't have to be passed separately.
