Corporate Finance
Moreover, students carry out an applied company analysis for the purpose of corporate valuation by linking issues of corporate finance to various aspects of the financial markets.
The topics covered in corporate finance are capital budgeting and investment decisions, analysis of questions such as where and how to raise the funds for corporate investments (financing decisions) and how much of the firm’s profit should return to the owners (dividend decisions).
The final part covers models for company valuation with emphasis on discounted cash flow models thereby determining relevant cash flow and adequate cost of capital.
Teaching Format
The teaching consists of lectures, seminars and group work, and requires a significant portion of self-study on the part of students.
The language of instruction is English.
Teaching takes place on campus, supplemented with digital resources with the intention of generating the highest possible educational quality.
For more detailed course information, see the study guide, published on the learning platform no later than one month before the course commences.
Assessment
Assessment for the course will be continuous and is carried throughout the different course activities. Each assessment task is weighted in relation to its importance in the overall assessment of the course. The student’s results from the different assessment tasks are added up to a total course score that will then translate into the final grade for the course.
For more information on how the assessment tasks are assessed, see the study guide.
