Letzte Änderung: Di 03.12.2024 15:45
This third-year course provides an introduction into topical issues in the field of banking and finance. It aims at building a bridge between theoretical and methodological knowledge acquired in the first years to real world markets and applications. Current topics of interest include financial crises and the role of banks. Why do markets fail and how can prudential regulation improve their performance and resilience?
The course also serves as the basis for more advanced research, which may take the form of a bachelor thesis or even continued studies in form of subsequent master program in finance. Certain topics would lend themselves easily to bachelor theses in the general field of banking and finance.Course outline
