Python for finance

Lecturer: Phi Long Nguyen

This soft skill course combines programming with finance. The course enables students to use the Python programming language to solve financial problems, similar to the examples from "Corporate finance" and "International investments and finance".

Python provides a convenient and reliable tool for handling and reporting data as well as graphical illustrations. It has become the de facto standard for finance applications and is thus particularly relevant for the job market.
