EXECUTIVE EDUCATION
The seminar series
"Fit for Finance" will be offered again next autumn. "Fit for Finance" consists of a series of lectures and workshops aiming at practitioners wanting to refresh their knowledge on financial topics. The lectures provide a summary of basic concepts of financing and findings in current research.
Due to the high demand, we will offer a follow-up seminar
"Fit for Finance Advanced" for all of our “Fit for Finance”-alumni in spring 2017. The course "Fit for Finance Advanced" deepens the participants’ knowledge on current issues in asset management.
