The Industry Lab is a project-oriented course. Students have the task to apply the skills and methods they learn(ed) in the common courses of their studies to solve a specific real-life problem similar to a typical industry problem. demands. Usually, an Industry Lab is completed by delivering a program code and a documentation, and by presenting the result.
The industry labs contribute to the students’ ability to:
- understand, analyze and solve complex real-life financial problems using mathematical and statistical models
- use mathematical and statistical methods and computational procedures for financial decision-making
- know how to handle financial market data and information systems in theory and practice
- develop and apply computational processes for solving finance-related problems
- translate theory into practical decision-making.Moreover, they foster students’ ability to:
- work well in teams and participate actively in problem-solving processes
- organize themselves in relation to group work including presentation and report writing skills.
- work under the pressure of deadlines
- critically evaluate and analyze risks of financial instruments using current models and methods
In small groups (four students/group), students work together on (industry) projects with selected corporate partners.Each lab is supervised by a WU faculty member and project leader(s) .The course delivery varies depending on the particular industry lab. Please visit http://www.wu.ac.at/qfin/prog/il for more detailed information.
The assessment will be based on the following deliverables:
- Final report(50%)
- Intermediate presentations (30%)
- Active participations(20%)
The project results will be assessed with respect to academic quality, practical relevance and project management skills.
Successful completion of
- Mathematics I, and
- Financial Markets and Instruments
