The course provides a solid foundation to understand what is required to achieve lasting growth for the value of a business, a person and different investment funds. In today's competitive business environment, companies need to find innovative ways to generate fast and sustained growth. Through extensive use of realistic examples, the student gets a critical perspective on interpretation of financial information, capital budgeting, evaluating projects, allocating funds, all of which increase corporate value. A deeper understanding of the relationship between risk and return is given a lot of attention, and especially how to reduce risk without the expected return changes.

It is possible to apply for admission to the course as a single course. There are reservations about the available capacity on the course. The applicant must meet the current admission requirements for the Master of Science in Business program.
