  • aim to strengthen your ability to navigate global financial markets and build successful investment portfolios as a finance professional.

 

Curriculum

Our curriculum consists of four main components:

  1. Introduction to personal finance and investment portfolio management: you will learn about a variety of assets, including traditional (e.g. stocks, bonds), non-traditional (e.g. real estate, minerals) and new (e.g. cryptocurrencies, NFTs) and how to manage them.
  2. Investment psychology and risk management: you will learn how to identify and minimize investment risks and understand the psychological aspects of investment decision-making.
  3. Techniques of financial market analysis: you will master fundamental and technical analysis of markets, which will help you make sound investment decisions.
  4. Building and managing an investment portfolio: you will acquire the skills to construct and manage an investment portfolio, considering different investment strategies and objectives. 

We do not focus on teaching theory, beyond what is necessary!  

We emphasise on transferring solid, proven skills that lecturers themselves have been using in their business activities for many years. These skills can become valuable assets when applying for a job or business cooperation. That is why most of the exercises in this specialisation are projects based on real business cases.
