Financial Management I
The module focuses on basic concepts, approaches, functions, techniques and theories of investment management, the characteristics of the various asset classes and their similarities and differences. In this module, students apply quantitative methods of investment appraisal and financial statement analysis to practical case studies and exercises. They analyse the advantages and disadvantages of various investment alternatives. In particular, students learn how to determine the value of a listed company. This enables them to make favourable investment decisions appropriate to the situation at hand. Students learn about current events and developments on the financial markets and apply the skills they have learnt in a real economic context.
Financial Management II
In addition to structured forms of corporate financing (e.g. project financing), the second part of the financial management skills module also shows the connection between financial/balance sheet/business model analysis and forms of financing. Students develop a critical understanding of the most important corporate finance topics (e.g. M&A, company valuation) and can categorise these in the overarching topic of capital market financing. They are able to deepen their knowledge on the basis of problems (e.g. case studies). As the module refers to current events and developments on the financial markets, students are able to collect, evaluate and interpret relevant information from the current news situation (interest rate developments, stock market developments, economic cycles).
