| Modulziele und angestrebte Lernergebnisse // Module objectives and intended study results: |
The students expand their hands-on and interdisciplinary abilities by developing individual solutions to a self-chosen topic in the fields of financial modelling and forecasting, risk management and financial technologies based on e.g. Blockchain technology. In this context the students:
- get knowledge how to build financial models,
- experience how to implement the models in programming languages e.g. Python, Matlab,
- learn how to practically apply financial modeling tools to a concrete real world problem,
- acquire knowledge how to create virtual and/or physical prototypes to test and visualize their ideas,
- gain insights in the young and innovative field of FinTech and Blockchain.
