Seminar Finance and Banking
2 SWS; every semester; 7 ECTS
Concept and content
- In this course, teams of two students conduct a self-contained piece of their own scientific research, which is normally based on a current research paper from a leading international journal. Depending on the topic, the students' own investigation is either empirical or model-oriented in its approach.
- In doing so, students gain deeper insights into current practical and theoretical questions in the fields of corporate finance, banking and capital market theory.
- Furthermore, the course provides the substantive and further methodological foundations that are indispensable for the preparation of a Master's thesis in this specialist area.
Topics and enrolement
- The seminar topics vary from semester to semester.
- They are announced, together with the registration period and registration procedure, in good time before the end of the lecture period of the preceding semester.
- The number of participants is limited, so that a selection procedure may be carried out where necessary, based on the students' progress in their studies and their academic achievements to date.
