Information on Teaching
In our Bachelor's program, we teach the fundamentals of (corporate) finance within the introductory course Investition und Finanzierung and the advanced course Investition und Finanzierung II. Furthermore, we offer a lecture on Behavioral Finance, in which students learn the basics of behavioral science. The Bachelor Seminar prepares students for their final thesis. In the winter term 2023/24, the Bachelor Seminar will be about Trading and Exchanges, where students will learn the basics of market microstructure and how securities trading works.
The Master's course Finanzderivate und Optionen teaches the basics of derivatives trading. The lecture on Financial Technology covers Blockchain technology, Crypto Currencies, Robo Advisory, Social Trading, and more. In the lecture Topics in Empirical Finance, advanced graduate students will discuss topical research papers on empirical finance. Both lectures are held in English. These courses will mainly have a seminar form, i.e., students actively participate, take on assignments, and present their results to the other course participants. Finally, knowledge on the theory of science will be taught in a regular Research Seminar where students will also develop research questions and methodologies for their final theses.
The Bachelor Seminar and the Research Seminar are specifically designed to prepare students for the subsequent Bachelor's, Master's, or Diploma thesis.
