Course description:
The ASPIRI course in “Corporate Finance” is designed exclusively as a preparatory course for the exam at the Financial and Strategic Management Program (FSM). The course in Corporate Finance emphasizes the core parts of the curriculum by a simple and effective approach.
The course consists of problem solving and theory presentation, which will make you fully prepared for your exam. During the final exam course, we will cover exercises that are made based on the book, workshop exercises and past exams. This ensures that the student will see only new material that imitates exam exercises to best prepare the student for the final exam. The students will be presented to exercises that are easier, at level, or harder than actual exam exercises to best prepare them for the exam.
Main concepts that will be covered include:
-
NPV calculations
-
Investment decision criteria
-
Variance and risk
-
Interest rates, project valuation
-
Three methods for un- and re-levering
-
Mergers, savings and much more.
Since it is a graduate course that lasts only for 12 hours, I will assume that the students are fimilar with the most basic concepts.
The course is structured an online exam course:
When you attend an online exam course at Aspiri, you will get an equally high dissemination and professional quality , you know from our attendance courses, but with the addition of full flexibility. You can attend the course WHERE, and WHEN it fits you.
The course is structured as an complete online course, where we help you with anything, such as video walk through of the course assignments, self-training, Q&As etc. The assembled course includes:
- Videos. Videos where our teacher walks you through the course assignments/theory in the same way as you might know from our attendance courses.
- Full flexibility. Everything is recorded, and you will be able to watch all the videos whenever and wherever it fits YOU. You can watch them repeatedly, with no limitation, fast-forward and back, pause and so on. It is not live-streaming!
- The course material. Comprehensive course material, which you can download as pdf. files.
- Self-training. Extra assignments with solutions, with the purpose of training on your own.
- Teacher. The course is being taught by a certificated Aspiri-teacher; thus you are secured a highly professional teaching level.
- Questions. Possibility to ask questions continuously until the exam has been held. Here it will also be possible to see the other students’ questions and the teachers corresponding answers.
- Access. You have access to all course content until the re-exam has been held. This way you are secured if you fail the original exam.
Course length
The number of hours appearing on the presentation site of our online course constitutes the full length of the online course, corresponding to the time it would take, if the course was held as an attendance course. This is also the time that we recommend, you use on the online course, to gain the full benefit of the course. The course length on our online courses does not equal the total numbers of “video-minutes”, which typically will be about half of the time. For this course, the following distribution of time is expected:
The total amount of time: 15 hours (the number appearing on the course presentation site)
- Overview of the coursemateriale: 1-2 hours.
- Self-training of course- and extra assignments: 5 hours.
- Total length of all videos: 7-8 hours (estimated 30-50 videos, subject-by-topic).
- Pauses, questions etc.: 1-2 hours.
The course length of our online course is therefore equal to our attendance courses, since they are corresponding to the total amount of time, you have to spend on the course, regardless whether you do it online at home or by a physical attendance at our course. In this way you are secured the same benefits of the course.
We look forward to seeing you at our online exam course.
