Python for finance

Lecturer: Patrik Veith

This soft skill course combines programming with finance. The course enables students to use the Python programming language to solve financial problems, similar to the examples from "Corporate Finance" and "International Investments and Finance".

Python provides a convenient and reliable tool for handling and reporting data as well as graphical illustrations. It has become the de facto standard for finance applications and is thus particularly relevant for the job market.

Important Information: Please register for the course via ZEUS.

This course will only be open for students of Economics (WiWi) and students with Economics as subsidiary subject (Nebenfächler), not for Mathematical Finance Students (FiMa).

The assessment (pass/fail) will be based on weekly homework, a journal to hand in at the end of the course and your regular attendance. More detailed information on the rules will be provided in the first session.

I am looking forward to seeing you,

Patrik Veith
