CREATE VALUE THROUGH CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT!
Postgraduate Management Program in Corporate Finance is designed for a new generation of leaders, who face challenges of the diverse business environment while performing their everyday corporate duties. It equips the aspiring team of management professionals with an essential toolkit, allowing to achieve their targets better, faster, and more efficiently.
It aims at discussing the most acute problems of corporate finance encountered by managers, giving a fresh insight into the operational and tactical decision making, training the most relevant techniques of data processing and presentation, honing leadership skills and providing a holistic picture of the business development opportunities, without sacrificing the rigor of academic education. We sincerely hope that the program will cater to the needs and expectations of our audience and will allow the program’s participants to create value for their firms through continuous improvement.
1. The program offers a unique combination of the cutting-edge theory with the hands-on experience.
2. The Program starts with fundamentals of corporate finance and gradually proceeds towards more complicated topics, allowing to cater for the requirements of a diverse audience representing different backgrounds and business profiles
3. The decision making tools are highly relevant for everyday practice and are tailored to the needs of the target audience.
4. The primary focus of the program is providing extensive knowledge in corporate finance, which encompasses such highly specialized topics as value-based management, mergers and acquisitions, enterprise risk management etc.
5. The program presents a toolkit of investment and wealth management which may be useful both at the working place and for personal financial planning.
Program is designed to meet the needs of management professionals having some experience, but aspiring to move higher and faster. Despite delving quite deeply into theory of corporate finance, the program is practically oriented and will help the participants to improve their operational performance. The upcoming career move may hinge upon particular skills: sometimes, it requires a rigorous training in quantitative techniques, and sometimes, a thorough understanding of the environment in which the company struggles to succeed.
The program is designed to offer a tailored toolkit and competence to those who are determined to acquire a competitive advantage on the job market. To make the program even more fruitful in terms of learning outcomes, we added concise modules in financial instruments and taxationportfolio analysis, which in addition to being highly relevant in corporate environment, may turn out to be very useful for your personal financial planning.
Most of the study sessions take place in a computer lab.
The participants get to acquire and hone their skills in building and calibrating financial models for diverse business purposes. Budgeting, investment project appraisal, costing, pricing, valuation etc. – all the major financial processes and decisions are inherently computationally intensive. Learning by doing is therefore, undoubtedly, the best suited approach to tackling them.
Many of the program modules rely on case studies. The financial modeling intermediated and facilitated by the course instructors brings the substance to the case, while the participants are expected to supplement the quantitative information with their professional perspective and individual viewpoints. The trainers bring in the insights from their professional consultancy practice as well as their vast experience in executive education.
