Compulsory modules and dissertation/research project
Applied Corporate Finance
In this module we are going to explore how firms finance their activities and the resulting capital structure. We will consider the circumstances where the choice of the source of funding is irrelevant and those in which the choice of capital structure can affect the firm value, due to tax considerations or informational frictions, for example. We will then explore how the global environment affects firms¿ financial policies. In the final part of the module we will talk about the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the value of the corporations involved.
Dissertation
You will study a topic in depth and write up your analysis. In general, the topic can be either an empirical one (in which case it involves the analysis of data using econometric techniques) or a valuation one (in which case it involves the rigorous valuation of a company or companies). A list of suggested topics will be provided, but you can also propose your own topic (as long as it aligns with the research interests of the school's academic staff). You will be assigned a supervisor who can provide you with some guidance, but you will largely work independently.
Financial Modelling in Excel
The ability to build flexible and robust financial models, is a key skill in the financial sector. During the financial modelling module, students will receive intensive instruction on how to use best practice to construct a professional model. During this course, the class will work in Excel continuously. Techniques and tools will be introduced to ensure all models built are robust in their structure, easy to use, adaptable and transparent.
Practical Valuation
Valuation is at the heart of many areas of finance such as valuebased investing, mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings. This course introduces students to company valuation and gives the background to all the tools used in the Excel modelling course (ECOM116) such as free cash flows and present discounted value. It will introduce a range of valuation tools such as use of multiples and real options. The course strongly emphasizes practical applications of these valuation tools.
Primary Markets and Securities
This course aims at developing key concepts in investment theory from the perspective of an investment banker, rather than a portfolio manager or individual investor. The goal of this class is to provide you with a structure for thinking about investment theory and show you how to address investment problems in a systematic manner. Special consideration is given to debt and equity capital markets, how firms use these securities, how they are priced and structured, and how they are issued. As well as introducing the operation of primary markets, this module also gives students an introduction to the key properties of the securities that are traded in financial markets.
Cases in Corporate Finance
Cases in business finance is an innovative module based on case method teaching. The module aims to foster the ability to write a structured financial analysis of a business within the context of its market(s) of operation. In terms of learning process, the module makes use of real cases, including, for example, Apple and Boeing vs. Airbus.
Research Project
You will study a topic in some depth and write up your analysis. Typically, the research project will consist of a literature review. A list of suggested topics will be provided, but you can also propose your own topic (as long as it aligns with the research interests of the school's academic staff). You will be assigned a supervisor who can provide you with some guidance, but you will largely work independently.
Financial Statement Analysis
The model teaches students how to analyse financial statements. Students learn about the basic structure of and the various items in balance sheets, profit & loss statements, and cash flow statements. Key financial indicators (related to leverage, different notions of profit, etc.) are introduced. The module emphasises the perspective of the user of financial statements rather than that of accountants and auditors.
Applied Project in Valuation
This module provides a practical, hands-on approach to valuation, enabling students to independently apply key valuation techniques to real-world financial data. Focused on employability, it develops essential skills for careers in corporate finance, investment banking, and asset management. Unlike other valuation modules, this project emphasises independent work, allowing students to deepen their analytical abilities and apply theoretical knowledge to industry-relevant valuation tasks.
Elective modules
Financial Derivatives
The purpose of this module is to provide students with an overview of the theory and practice of pricing and hedging derivative securities. These include forward and futures contracts, swaps, and many different types of options. This module covers diverse areas of derivatives, such as equity and index derivatives, foreign currency derivatives and commodity derivatives, as well as interest rate derivatives. This module also addresses the issue of how to incorporate credit risk into the pricing and risk management of derivatives. All the relevant concepts are discussed based on the discrete time binomial model and the continuous time BlackScholes model. The extensions of the BlackScholes model are also discussed.
International Finance
Foreign exchange is not only the most heavily traded of all financial assets, it has the clearest interface between macroeconomics and finance. In this module you'll get an introduction to the main theoretical models used to understand FX markets as well as indepth analysis of how they work in practice. Topics include: understanding global imbalances, models of exchange rate determination, the structure of the FX market and how trades are priced, FX derivatives markets, foreign exchange intervention and reserves, and currency regimes and crises. Each week the key lessons of the lecture are illustrated through an analysis of current economic events such as the problems in the Euroarea, China's foreign exchange rate policy and the role of the dollar as a global reserve currency. We also price and monitor foreign exchange trades suggested by course participants to see how good you are at FX trading!
Behavioural Finance
Behavioural finance studies irrationalities in savings and investment decisions as well as puzzles on financial markets. Some key topics are saving for retirement, insurance, predictability of returns, and bubbles. Knowledge of behavioural finance provides students with a deeper and more realistic understanding of finance than is offered by the mainstream approach alone. Such knowledge will hopefully make students less susceptible to common mistakes when they make financial decisions in their personal or professional lives.
Commercial and Investment Banking
The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of the international financial system and its associated risks given the ever evolving regulatory regime.On successful completion, students should be able to critically understand, evaluate and question the operations of banks and of nonbank financial institutions, the process of deposit creation, the term structure of interest rates, the supply and demand of loanable funds, and the role of Central Banks. More importantly students should be competent in the analysis, interpretation and assessment of all facets and aspects of financial risk and its management.
Risk Management for Banking
The module is designed to give an insight into the risk management process and how capital is allocated. We identify the main sources of risk experienced by financial institutions such as credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks. Methods for quantifying and managing risk are explored in detail with an emphasis on understanding factors affecting Value at Risk (VAR) calculations. Finally, we see how reporting standards, regulation and innovation have transformed the way financial institutions operate and what can we learn from recent risk management failures.
Asset Management
The purpose of this module is to provide students with a practical introduction to modern portfolio theory and asset pricing, including active portfolio management, portfolio performance evaluation, portfolio insurance, and international portfolio diversification. On the successful completion of the module students will know how to implement modern portfolio management strategies and will be familiar with the practical aspects of asset valuation. The course emphasises real world cases and real world investment and hedging strategies.
Bond Market Strategies
Bond markets are a critical part of the global financial system. This module explores global bond markets from a practitioner perspective. The module is designed to help students learn key bond market mathematics, identify value and understand the key risks. The module will explore how bond market strategies can be employed to capture value, create portfolios and meet specific investment objectives. The course also links core material with topical issues in global bond markets, showing students the critical importance of bond markets for the banking system, the wider financial system, the economy and government policymaking.
Applied Wealth Management
The module looks at modern wealth management. Students will study the regulatory framework governing firms and individuals in the wealth management industry. The various asset classes (such as money markets, bonds, equities, property, hedge funds etc) will be examined and how they can be combined in wealth portfolios. The utilisation of pensions and insurance solutions will also be discussed as well as the areas of philanthropy and ethical investing.
Credit Ratings
This module provides an overview of credit ratings, risk and analysis. It explains the role of rating agencies and goes though the rating process; how credit ratings are assigned and monitored. It provides knowledge of both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of credit analysis. It presents credit rating methodologies and an overview of securitisation and structured finance technology. The module puts considerable emphasis on practical applications. It explains how a transaction is put together by an investment bank as an arranger. Then goes through the steps of how it gets rated by the rating agencies and finally distributed in the markets.
Mergers and Acquisitions
This module provides an overview of mergers and acquisitions from the point of view of an industry practitioner who has worked in both M&A advisory (Corporate Finance Advisory) and Merger Arbitrage Trading.
The module explains the role of Corporate Finance practitioners and the modelling tools they use to value companies and advise clients. The module also explains the role in the markets for traders and portfolio managers at hedge funds and other asset management firms who specialise in trading announced merger transactions and other corporate actions.
Systematic Trading Strategies
The use of systems for trading and investing has grown exponentially over the last twenty years, gradually replacing the discretionary judgement of human beings. This course will help students understand why systems have become so important in financial markets, and provide an overview of key concepts needed to understand and develop strategies for systematic trading and investing.
China and Global Financial Markets
China's financial markets and institutions operate in ways that differ significantly from those in other major economies such as the US and Euroarea. Despite the importance of the Chinese economy, these unique features of its financial industry are not covered in standard finance courses thus this module aims to fill that gap. This course is aimed at providing the students with an understanding of i) how financial markets and institutions operate in China, ii) how China interacts with global financial markets.
Real Estate Finance
Residential and commercial real estate is fundamental to bank lending and has become increasingly important as an asset class for investment banks and hedge funds. Its role at the centre of the financial system was highlighted by the 200809 financial crisis where problems in that sector led to the largest global recession since the great depression. This module aims to provide students with concepts and techniques for analysing real estate investment and financing decisions. The module covers mortgages and debt securitisation (secondary mortgages and mortgagebacked securities like CDO's), real estate investment appraisal and risk assessment, financial leverage in real estate, and alternative financing and investment vehicles, such as real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Private Equity and Venture Capital
This practical module will provide a deep insight into the landscape and practices in private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC). The course will combine sound academic theory with practice and will incorporate a PEVC ecosystem analysis, a review of the main fund and deal lifecycle processes, practical exercises in the art and science of valuation, growth strategies in portfolio management, a 360o pitching simulation (both as an investor and investee) and a review of the latest trends and complexities in the world of fund management, start-ups, scale ups, ¿unicorns¿ and PE leveraged buyouts.
Further Topics in Valuation
Private equity is a relevant source of capital for companies. This course explores the private equity cycle: (i) fundraising and structure, (ii) investing and (iii) exit. As valuation plays a crucial role in thie cycle, the course starts with valuation techniques: from traditional methods such as DCF to more recent methodologies as real options. Strong emphasis is given to practical applications: a DCF model for a target company will be developed in-class and a real world of case of Private Equity transaction will be exposed.
Fintech
The juncture of mobile apps and retail financial services has disrupted the money, personal finance, and financial institutions. The digital identity and digital money are pillars supporting new business models in finance, including open banking, robo-advisors, smart contracts and many others. Fintech technologies, value propositions, best practices and regulation are illustrated by many examples of start-ups to enable practical, critical and creative thinking about business and investment opportunities from perspective of a small investor, a business analyst or an entrepreneur.
Machine Learning for Finance
The aim of this module is to explore commonly used machine learning methods in economics and finance. The majority of methods currently available are inherently statistical and so there is a strong emphasis placed on probability and statistics in terms of foundation. Practical application of methods is undertaken using R, although the course does touch on Python use as well. Students are free to use R, Python or other reputable scientific software for assignments.
Climate Finance
Climate Risk is becoming increasingly important in financial markets not just as a new risk factor but also as an important element of ESG investing and as a source of new financial markets (e.g. emissions trading and green bonds). This course aims to identify they key elements of climate change risk and how it influences finance.
ESG Investing
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) based investment policies have become increasingly important in financial decision making over recent year. ESG implies an entirely different type of investment analysis from traditional finance and raise important questions about fiduciary duty, externalities and disclosures. This module introduces students to ESG investing and the issues it raises.
Blockchain Economics and Financial Market Innovation
Blockchain technologies have triggered a fundamental change to the nature of money, payments, and liquidity, ultimately transforming the core of financial markets. It is one of the most disruptive technologies available at present, designed to simplify the value chains around trading, payment and market infrastructure. If fully adopted, blockchain will create a more efficient, more transparent and more secure marketplace whilst reducing transaction processing costs. Its applications span from banks to logistics to ecommerce, and the pace of change is likely to accelerate even more as new technologies such as AI become more prevalent. The course will couple theoretical lectures with practical coding applications and case studies on emerging topics in DeFi and FinTech with a focus on the impact of Blockchain technology on financial markets, trading, and investments.
Large Language Models and Textual Analysis in Finance
Exploring the intersection of finance and cutting-edge AI, this course delves into Large Language Models (LLMs) and their transformative role in financial analysis and decision-making. Students will engage with the latest advancements in textual analysis, learning to extract and interpret complex insights from vast datasets of unstructured text. Practical applications covered include market sentiment analysis, risk assessment, and automated report generation. This module blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, preparing students for innovative careers in finance, where AI meets financial analysis.
Applied Portfolio Construction
This module will looks into the major asset classes and how these are combined to form investment portfolios. The different asset allocation strategies are also examined along with the ways to measure and attribute portfolio performance. Furthermore, portfolio specific issues such as ethical investing and behavioural finance are also studied. The course shows how financial products are used in modern day banking.
