This course has 12 lectures of 3 hours each. Lectures will be a mix of conceptual issues and lots of exercises in class to illustrate the concepts. There will be 4 case studies. The first one will be on financial analysis and will be solved in the classroom (lectures 1 and 2). Then, there will be three cases (financial analysis, valuation, M&A) that will have to be solved and handed over to the teacher (in lectures 4, 8 and 12) for grading.
