Course methodology

The courses are intensive , divided into modules and will include a combination of lectures, workshops, case studies, self-study and group work. Analyzing real-world examples will allow students to practically apply the concepts taught.

To pass exams (80% of the overall grade) and complete case studies in groups (20% of the overall grade), you will need to spend some time studying at home.

The materials are specially designed for self-study. Students have constant access to their professors and can ask them for advice or feedback on a completed task.

See an example of materials:  Strategic Planning and Budgeting or IFRS .

Main areas covered by the study program:

• Financial reporting and analysis based on IFRS compared to US GAAP
• Financial strategies, valuations, risk management, mergers and acquisitions
• Strategic planning, monitoring and controlling

All classes are conducted in English.

More information can be found in the PDF brochure and on the university website.

Benefits of online classes:

• “Class effect” so that everyone knows who the other participants are, the ability to communicate with the host and participants via chat;
• Screen sharing so participants can view and interact with the trainer’s screen in real time;
• Possibility of voice communication in small groups;
• “Meeting rooms” , so that the class can be divided into groups for interaction in which case studies will be solved;
• Materials to download in one place, for printing;
• Surveys, multiple-choice and open-ended questions during training: answers are presented in a real-time format (under the trainer’s control);
• All our trainers have many years of experience in conducting online training.
