Project Description
This is an interactive and practical course on all kind of questions about managing personal and individual financial situations in daily life. A focus is offered on the specific needs of young people. Although the title seems to be very specific, this course invites students from all study areas to participate. Finance students will not be able to profit from advantages because of the very practical approach of this course.
We start with 2 interactive input days at the beginning of the semester (February 7 and 8). Over these 2 days, we provide students with an overview on personal finance in order to construct a general understanding of the topic.
This is followed by 4 evening meetings in April and May 2024, reserved for active contributions of students. We will form several groups. Each group will provide 3 mini-presentations. For 2 of the topics presented, groups also prepare mini-essays (between 2 and 4 pages). Some of the topics to be discussed will be:
In this course we will be able to react to all kind of additional questions of participants.
If possible, guest speakers will be invited to profit from their special knowledge and to give participants the opportunity to discuss issues of Personal Finance with experts. Guest speakers will represent security investments, the real estate market, the insurance market as well as debt counseling.
