ØABED3300 International Financial Management Course description

The course material is discussed in lectures. Instructor provides suggestions for voluntary exercises. The students are encouraged to work in groups on one assignment that count 25% towards final grading. However, in some special cases a student can work individually on this assignment.

The course primarily covers topics that do not build on elective courses. Thus required courses from first two years suffice although some concepts from elective courses, Corporate Finance (Foretaksfinans) and International Economics in particular, are useful.

The grading is based on two components: 1. Obligatory Assignment; 2. Written examination.

The obligatory assignment counts 25% of the final grade. This assignment is to be carried out in groups of 2-3 students. However, in some special cases a student may be allowed to work individually. The teacher will give information regarding the deadline for handing in the assignment. The four-hour written examination at the end of the term counts 75% towards the final grade.

The final grade is based on weighted average of the obtained grades of the two components i.e. 25% for assignment + 75% for written exam.

The students who wish to write the examination later, or the students who want to re-write the examination are not required to do the assignment afresh. Their obtained grade of the assignment shall count towards their final grade.
