Through practical cases and examples, students will also gain knowledge of key areas within finance. The teaching methods includes lectures, group discussions, hands-on projects. One of the key strengths of this course is its strong emphasis on real-world application. We believe that theory comes to life when applied to practical situations. Throughout the course, you'll be exposed to numerous case studies, industry trends, and examples that bridge the gap between the classroom and the dynamic financial world. To ensure your understanding and progress, the course includes a variety of assessments. These may include regular quizzes, assignments, presentations, and a final exam.
