In this course, student groups work on solving a current and relevant practical problem in finance. The problem is provided by a project owner, typically a financial services company or a faculty member with practical experience. Students will apply complex theoretical concepts to develop a satisfying solution to the given problem.
This course is designed to equip MSc in Innovative Finance students with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively use modern media communication tools. The course covers a range of communication methods including social media posts, podcasts, video podcasts, pitches, webinars, blogs, vlogs, infographics, and virtual reality presentations. Students will learn the principles behind these communication forms, their appropriate contexts, and how to utilize them to their fullest potential in the finance sector.
This seminar is designed for students to autonomously develop a written seminar paper on an academic problem in finance. Each student selects a topic, conducts in-depth research, and writes an individual paper. The course culminates in students presenting their findings at the end of the semester. The specific content is dependent on the chosen topics and the course framework. Key topics covered are:
Practise listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills and competences to reach an advanced C1 level (cf. CEFR descriptors) and be able to take an English certificate exam at C1 level
Advanced ISD project is a course wherein students must put their pre-acquired knowledge (in the Information Systems Development and Web-based Information Systems) into practice. After providing a brief introduction on some web frameworks and on API, students are meant to work in groups to develop a Web-based Information System.
The Advanced Studio - Built Heritage & Upcycling focuses on design, based on the principles of repair, reuse and circularity. Buildings are seen as material banks and repositories of knowledge for the time of their function and form. Using existing material sources and building stock as well as exemplary references, material resources and typologies are recognised and explored. The creative merging of existing buildings, inventories and new typology is a central part of the design method. The idea of a concise architectural work as a repaired or newly assembled and inhabited warehouse of building elements, characterised by tectonic clarity and great atmospheric density, is the studio's goal.
The sustainable operation within a complex architectural or urban environment is critically analysed and applied. The Bachelor’s Thesis students take part in one of the Advanced Studios within the Bachelor´s degree programme. The thesis includes a developed hypothesis which is verified (or falsified) within the context of a design project.
The Master's Thesis is carried out by the student as part of an Advanced Studio and is supervised by the unit. The thesis contains a developed hypothesis that is verified (or falsified) as part of the design project. In addition to the actual design project, the Master's thesis includes the design and production of the thesis book. This consists of
three parts: the documentation of the design project, a theoretical report and a technical report. The formal aspects of the thesis and the thesis book are described in the Master's thesis regulations.

The Advanced Studio - Craft & Structure focuses on the design with materials and how they fit together to form a logical structure. This interaction is investigated on a wide range of scales, from architectural design in the urban context to construction on a 1:1 scale and tested in experimental prototypes. The knowledge generated in this process deepens the understanding of sustainably built and tectonically structured architecture. Analog tools meet digital productions: Traditional and innovative methods are applied and transferred into sustainable constructions based on the focus on craft and structure.

The Advanced Studio - Sustainable Design concentrates on the design of complex building projects in which the deficits for our society in the future are revealed through in-depth analyses. With the aim of achieving a sustainably good quality of life for individuals and humanity, we use a framework of five pairs of needs: resources and energy, space and mobility, food and health, demography and integration as well as values and ethics. These replace the familiar scale categories of common architectural theory and thus overcome the linear functionalism. Not unexpectedly, utopian, dystopian, but also very humble and reflective projects can result.

This course builds on what you have learnt in Innovative Finance: Data Science and Machine Learning 1.
Based on a large real-world dataset, we will host our own Kaggle competition, where groups of students will compete against each other in a machine learning contest using financial data.
The challenge will be different each time, so we might forecast stock returns, classify stocks according to how green they are based on tweets and facebook posts or dynamically put together portfolios of cryptocurrencies that are expected to outperform in subsequent periods.
The course is structured as a lab, where we tackle all real-world issues related to the current challenge together, but will also run small competitions to get the most out of our data.
Grading will NOT be based on placement in the contest but focus on contribution to the final output and team work.

This seminar examines the definitions and meanings of architecture from a theoretical perspective. The main theories of architecture are presented. Disciplinary and interdisciplinary aspects and questions are also conveyed as architectural cultural events in a societal context. It defines parameters forming a building culture, provides a historical overview and identifies definitions of building cultures and their role in contributing to the formation of identities. To this end, architectural theories are presented, discussed and analysed from different perspectives. The course will encourage students to actively investigate the specificities of different cultures, positions and tools as necessary components for a conscious architectural attitude. Besides lectures and excursions, the students will be actively contributing to the shaping of the module through short presentations and essays.
