Competence Certificate
The module examination is carried out in the form of partial examinations on the selected courses, with which the minimum LP requirement is fulfilled in total.
The assessment of success is described for each course.
The overall grade of the module is formed from the LP-weighted grades of the partial examinations and truncated after the first decimal place.
Competence Goal
The student
- Knows and understands the common statistical or econometric methods in the fields of quantitative finance for financial institutions,
- knows and understands the modern risk control or analysis methods,
- knows and understands the presentation of axiomatic decision theories, stochastic dominance principles or risk aversion concepts.
Prerequisites
Courses audited in connection with this module can no longer be credited in connection with modules from the master's program.
