Course description
The course "Corporate Finance" provides students with both theoretical and practical knowledge about financial statement analysis, long-term financial planning and company valuation. Accordingly, it is highly relevant for students seeking a career in finance (academia or financial services). First, students learn how to read and analyze financial statements (balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement). Further, definitions of common financial terms and important financial ratios are discussed. Throughout the lecture and tutorial, students learn how to consistently plan financial statements for future periods. In particular, students learn how to apply techniques of financial planning to generate cash flow forecasts as well as how to derive a company’s cost-of-capital as inputs for company valuation. Finally, the course introduces different company valuation approaches (e.g., multiples, DCF models) and analyzes their applicability under real world conditions.

Course description
The module “Cases in Finance” includes conceptual and application-related elements for the assessment of stocks (e.g. the calculation of risk-return profiles, determination of financial ratios and cost of capital) by means of student project work, presentations and discussions. Students work independently in teams to develop solutions to relevant questions. In doing so, students independently conduct research and statistical analyses. For this purpose, students use skills and knowledge acquired in particular in the basic modules Finance I, Accounting I & II and Statistics. Independent familiarization with appropriate analysis software (Excel) is required.
