This preparatory course is meant to help students with the transition from the bachelor to the master level. It reviews four important topics in quantitative methods that students are assumed to be familiar with at the beginning of the first semester.
The course is an online course designed for students on MSc in Finance and MSc in Sustainable Finance, but it will be available for students on all MSc programmes. No ECTS credits are awarded, and there is no exam, but it is possible to do a multiple choice test at the end of the course.
By the end of this course, students should have a grasp of four important topics in quantitative methods.
- Probability theory (about two hours of videos plus exercises)
- Probability distributions (about two hours of videos plus exercises)
- Sampling and estimation (about two hours of videos plus exercises)
- Hypothesis testing (about two hours of videos plus exercises)
This is an online course with videos, notes, exercises, and solutions.
All students should take the online multiple-choice test. There will not be a requirement to pass this test, but the performance will indicate to students how much time they should spend on this preparatory course and how much they need to work going forward.
All courses in the Masters programme will assume that students have fulfilled the admission requirements for the programme. In addition, courses in second, third and/or fourth semester can have specific prerequisites and will assume that students have followed normal study progression. For double degree and exchange students, please note that equivalent courses are accepted.
