About Advanced Courses

Advanced Courses are designed to deepen students’ understanding of topics deemed particularly significant and relevant to disseminate scientific knowledge, thus improving the skills acquired with the academic curriculum. 

To enrol in an Advanced Course, you must have a Bachelor's degree

Advanced Courses consist of two or three modules of 6 ECTS each. By passing all the exams, you will get a certification and an Open Badge. If you do not pass all the exams, you will only receive a certificate for the exams you have taken.

Furthermore, the Advanced Course can be recognised in the elective course section of your Master’s degree.

Goals

The Advanced Course in Financial Management & Corporate Reporting is a training course building on the disciplines' fundamentals and addressing topics at the frontier of the research in Financial Management and Corporate Reporting studies.

The Advanced Course delves into the themes of behavioural finance, entrepreneurial finance, fintech and sustainable finance, and offers a critical analysis of accounting topics such as corporate disclosure content and evolution, politics and technicalities in accounting, institutional perspectives, reporting regulation and global convergence, non-financial information, accounting digitisation.

Skills

Students will acquire the fundamentals of the disciplines and the ability to critically analyse problems and issues of scientific and practical relevance. 

The Advanced Course offers content and knowledge that, although developed in the field of management, is also relevant for students from other fields. Both 'STEM' and 'humanities' professionals are increasingly involved in the development of projects of an entrepreneurial nature for which a financial literacy and a critical mastery of financial management and reporting tools are essential.

Teaching methods

Students are encouraged to develop their personal considerations on theories, practices and events through innovative and highly interactive teaching approaches. Teaching methods include traditional lectures and in-class guided discussions on empirical research papers. The final assessment is based on an active learning approach whereby each student is required to submit a draft of an empirical research project on a topic chosen in agreement with the professor.
