Degree Course: Finance and business
A.Y. 2022/2023
Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
I laureati dovranno avere una solida e rigorosa conoscenza, ulteriore rispetto ai trienni frequentati, delle discipline aziendali, economiche, giuridiche e matematico-statistiche applicate alla finanza d'impresa, alla gestione delle banche e degli intermediari finanziari, alla finanza dei mercati, delle assicurazioni e dei fondi pensione.
L'approccio interdisciplinare dovra consentire agli studenti di giungere a sviluppare idee originali nell'affrontare i temi tipici dei diversi ambiti finanziari, attraverso una comprensione sistematica e critica delle situazioni proprie del reale mondo finanziario.
I laureati dovranno anche avere una valida formazione informatica, indispensabile per l'utilizzo adeguato del computer in ambito finanziario.Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
I laureati dovranno essere capaci di applicare le proprie conoscenze per la soluzione di problemi tipici della finanza d'impresa, della gestione delle banche e degli intermediari, della finanza dei mercati, delle assicurazioni e dei fondi pensione.
Essi dovranno essere in grado di leggere le situazioni da diverse prospettive disciplinari, in modo da saperle affrontare in modo creativo e quindi giungere a soluzioni innovative.
L'utilizzo flessibile delle conoscenze e infatti proprio di contesti fortemente mutevoli quali quelli che caratterizzano il problem solving nel settore dei servizi finanziari e nelle scelte finanziarie d'impresa, le innovazioni di prodotto, di processo e regolamentari del mondo finanziario attuale e prospettico.
Per raggiungere questo obiettivo gli insegnamenti del corso di laurea combinano opportunamente la strumentazione logica, i metodi e gli strumenti dei diversi linguaggi (in particolare quelli aziendali e quelli matematico-statistici), applicandoli a scenari, situazioni problematiche e contesti decisionali differenziati, attraverso un esteso ricorso a metodi didattici attivi.
Le verifiche effettuate sia durante il corso sia a fine corso, nella forma di esami, progetti e presentazione in aula degli elaborati degli studenti, sono approntate in modo da porre in luce la dimostrazione della padronanza di strumenti e di metodi, unitamente ad una buona dose di autonomia critica nello svolgimento del lavoro e nella presentazione dello stesso.Autonomia di giudizio
I laureati dovranno avere capacita di integrare le diverse conoscenze acquisite a fronte di situazioni complesse ed incerte, tipiche del mondo finanziario odierno.
Analizzare e gestire la complessita e l'incertezza, in campo finanziario, significa saper valutare criticamente le conoscenze acquisite circa i metodi e gli strumenti, comprendendo quali applicare in situazioni nuove e/o caratterizzate da ambiguita, sapendosi muovere in presenza di informazione limitata, manifestando sensibilita per i profili etici e di responsabilita sociale e quindi evitando di chiudersi in un arido tecnicismo, sapendo esercitare spirito critico rispetto alle conoscenze tradizionali e quindi realizzando una visione matura ed indipendente delle realta fronteggiate.
Per raggiungere questo obiettivo si e cercato di operare sia a livello di struttura del corso di studio, attraverso la combinazione degli ambiti scientifico-disciplinari e degli approcci e linguaggi presenti nel corso di laurea, sia attraverso un'equilibrata presenza di componenti teoriche, empiriche e pratiche nell'ambito dei singoli corsi.
L'interdisciplinarieta e l'acquisizione dei differenti punti di vista in riferimento ad uno specifico problema offrono, nel corso delle prove di verifica, occasioni significative per sviluppare in modo autonomo le scelte decisionali e per verificare le proprie capacita di giudizio.Abilità comunicative
I laureati dovranno avere capacita di analisi e diagnosi dei problemi e capacita di comunicare le conclusioni del proprio processo di apprendimento in modo chiaro e non ambiguo, con un linguaggio che sia compreso sia da specialisti sia da non specialisti.
Cio appare particolarmente importante in ambito finanziario, dove lo sviluppo di linguaggi specialistici non deve ostacolare la comprensione piena dei fenomeni, il dialogo e la collaborazione tra imprese, intermediari, pubblico in senso lato, autorita di vigilanza e regolamentazione.
Per raggiungere questo obiettivo si ricorre, nei diversi insegnamenti, a materiali didattici di provenienza accademica e non, a metodi didattici attivi che facilitino il confronto delle prospettive utilizzabili e il confronto tra gli studenti e tra gli studenti, i docenti e testimoni provenienti dal mondo finanziario, il ricorso a progetti di ricerca nell'ambito dei corsi, a momenti complementari di valutazione in forma scritta e in forma orale.
L'acquisizione di queste abilita comunicative, nonche la relativa verifica, e prevista oltre che grazie ai progetti di ricerca assegnati nell'ambito di alcune discipline anche grazie alla redazione della prova finale e della discussione della stessa davanti ad una commissione.
Capacità di apprendimento
I laureati dovranno avere capacita di apprendere e di mettere in pratica l'apprendimento attraverso logiche tipiche del c.d.
action learning ? tipica modalita seguita nell'educazione degli adulti.
Cio e fondamentale per consentire loro di sviluppare capacita di studio e test delle conoscenze, competenze ed abilita acquisite, che li accompagnera nel percorso di apprendimento continuo che caratterizza in modo particolare il mondo finanziario.
Cio e ottenuto, nel corso di laurea, attraverso quanto ricordato nei quattro punti precedenti, ed in particolare mediante il ricorso a modalita di intenso coinvolgimento degli studenti (metodi didattici e di valutazione dell'apprendimento).
I laureati dovranno avere sviluppato quelle capacita di apprendimento che consentono loro di continuare a studiare in modo auto-diretto e autonomo.
In particolare, il corso di laurea, mediante il progressivo innalzamento del livello di competenze e delle capacita metodologiche e analitiche, prepara anche all'accesso a livelli di formazione superiore, quale e quella del dottorato di ricerca.
La capacita di apprendimento e valutata sia mediante verifiche, scritte od orali, tenutesi durante le attivita formative, sia mediante la valutazione della capacita di autoapprendimento maturata durante lo svolgimento dell'attivita relativa alla prova finale.Requisiti di ammissione

L'Ateneo realizza diverse iniziative rivolte all'orientamento in ingresso per le lauree triennali e magistrali.
In particolare, per quanto riguarda le lauree magistrali, le azioni di orientamento in ingresso sono improntate alla realizzazione di processi di raccordo tra gli studenti laureandi triennali e l'offerta formativa di secondo livello.
Si concretizzano in attività di carattere informativo sui Corsi di Studio (CdS) dell'Ateneo ma anche come impegno condiviso da scuola e università per favorire lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza da parte degli studenti nel compiere scelte coerenti con le proprie conoscenze, competenze, attitudini e interessi.
Le attività promosse si articolano in:
a) autorientamento;
b) incontri e manifestazioni informative rivolte alle future matricole;
c) sviluppo di servizi online e pubblicazione di guide sull'offerta formativa dei CdS.
Tra le attività svolte in collaborazione con le scuole per lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza nella scelta, il progetto di autorientamento è un intervento che consente di promuovere un raccordo particolarmente qualificato con alcune scuole medie superiori.
Il progetto, infatti, è articolato in incontri svolti presso le scuole ed è finalizzato a sollecitare nelle future matricole una riflessione sui propri punti di forza e sui criteri di scelta.
La presentazione dell'offerta formativa ai laureandi triennali e agli studenti della scuola secondaria prevede 3 eventi principali distribuiti nel corso dell'anno accademico ai quali partecipano tutti i CdS.
- Salone dello studente: si svolge presso la fiera di Roma fra ottobre e novembre e coinvolge tradizionalmente tutti gli Atenei del Lazio e molti Atenei fuori Regione, Enti pubblici e privati che si occupano di Formazione e Lavoro.
Roma Tre partecipa a questo evento con un proprio spazio espositivo, con conferenze di presentazione dell'offerta formativa dell'Ateneo e promuove i propri Dipartimenti scientifici grazie all'iniziativa Youth for Future;
- Giornate di Vita Universitaria (GVU): si svolgono ogni anno da dicembre a marzo e sono rivolte agli studenti degli ultimi due anni della scuola secondaria superiore.
Si svolgono in tutti i Dipartimenti dell'Ateneo e costituiscono un?importante occasione per le future matricole per vivere la realtà universitaria.
Gli incontri sono strutturati in modo tale che accanto alla presentazione dei Corsi di Laurea, gli studenti possano anche fare un'esperienza diretta di vita universitaria con la partecipazione ad attività didattiche, laboratori, lezioni o seminari, alle quali partecipano anche studenti seniores che svolgono una significativa mediazione di tipo tutoriale.
Partecipano annualmente circa 5.000 studenti.
- Orientarsi a Roma Tre: rappresenta la manifestazione che chiude le annuali attività di orientamento in ingresso e si svolge in Ateneo a luglio di ogni anno.
L'evento accoglie, perlopiù, studenti romani che partecipano per mettere definitivamente a fuoco la loro scelta universitaria.
Durante la manifestazione viene presentata l'offerta formativa e sono presenti, con un proprio spazio, tutti i principali servizi di Roma Tre, le segreterie didattiche e la segreteria studenti.
I servizi online messi a disposizione dei futuri studenti universitari nel tempo sono aumentati tenendo conto dello sviluppo delle nuove opportunità di comunicazione tramite web.
Inoltre, durante tutte le manifestazioni di presentazione dell'offerta formativa, sono illustrati quei siti web di Dipartimento, di Ateneo, Portale dello studente etc.
che possono aiutare gli studenti nella loro scelta.
In aggiunta il CdS magistrale in Finanza e impresa prevede forme di orientamento in ingresso a distanza utilizzando la piattaforma Teams come luogo di incontro tra i tutor del CdS e gli studenti interessati al percorso formativo e prevede altresi l'orientamento di alcune classi di Laurea Triennale alle attivita previste nella Laurea Magistrale organizzando seminari, nell?ambito di alcuni insegnamenti di taglio maggiormente finanziario, per orientare gli studenti alla scelta della Laurea Magistrale.Il Corso di Studio in breve

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

RISK AND ACCOUNTING
(objectives)
The course focuses on the relationship between governance, risk management and financial disclosure, the aim of putting the students in the condition to evaluate the way that related company decisions are made and presented. This course moves from the idea that financial statements, together with other reporting published by the companies (i.e. the sustainability reporting), are a mean to communicate the overall state of health of the company and provide useful information regarding the measurement of different kinds of risks. In this view the purpose of the course is to assist students in analysis the financial of information published by the companies to understand the company’s financial results in the light of existent specific risks and how they are managed.

BANK MANAGEMENT
(objectives)
This module aims to advance students’ understanding of modern banking systems and institutions, utilising economic theory and empirical evidence. A wide range of different topics is covered in this module. The module initially explores the complexity and integrated nature of international banking systems and regulation. The module emphasises on the relationship between financial systems and economic performance, particularly the mechanisms by which the former may help to improve resource allocation and economic growth and stabilise banking systems. It also examines the causes of weaknesses in financial systems, including the roots of financial crises. Information-related problems and the way these are addressed by different types of financial institutions and systems will be central to the analysis. The investigation of emerging issues and contemporary trends in domestic and international banking will also be an important part of this module. Finally, it aims at developing students’ ability to apply economic/finance tools and techniques in a variety of decision-making contexts for banking.

FINANCIAL MODELING
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

RISK AND ACCOUNTING
(objectives)
The course focuses on the relationship between governance, risk management and financial disclosure, the aim of putting the students in the condition to evaluate the way that related company decisions are made and presented. This course moves from the idea that financial statements, together with other reporting published by the companies (i.e. the sustainability reporting), are a mean to communicate the overall state of health of the company and provide useful information regarding the measurement of different kinds of risks. In this view the purpose of the course is to assist students in analysis the financial of information published by the companies to understand the company’s financial results in the light of existent specific risks and how they are managed.

FINANCIAL MODELING
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

RISK AND ACCOUNTING
(objectives)
The course focuses on the relationship between governance, risk management and financial disclosure, the aim of putting the students in the condition to evaluate the way that related company decisions are made and presented. This course moves from the idea that financial statements, together with other reporting published by the companies (i.e. the sustainability reporting), are a mean to communicate the overall state of health of the company and provide useful information regarding the measurement of different kinds of risks. In this view the purpose of the course is to assist students in analysis the financial of information published by the companies to understand the company’s financial results in the light of existent specific risks and how they are managed.

BANK MANAGEMENT
(objectives)
This module aims to advance students’ understanding of modern banking systems and institutions, utilising economic theory and empirical evidence. A wide range of different topics is covered in this module. The module initially explores the complexity and integrated nature of international banking systems and regulation. The module emphasises on the relationship between financial systems and economic performance, particularly the mechanisms by which the former may help to improve resource allocation and economic growth and stabilise banking systems. It also examines the causes of weaknesses in financial systems, including the roots of financial crises. Information-related problems and the way these are addressed by different types of financial institutions and systems will be central to the analysis. The investigation of emerging issues and contemporary trends in domestic and international banking will also be an important part of this module. Finally, it aims at developing students’ ability to apply economic/finance tools and techniques in a variety of decision-making contexts for banking.

FINANCIAL MODELING
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

These choices are analyzed in the light of business strategy and banking academic literature. The suppliers of financial services are influenced by regulatory and technological changes, in a market that is more and more international. During the course different business lines are observed (retail banking, private and corporate banking, payment services), taking care of the bundling and unbundling of different kinds of intermediation activities. Besides supply, also demand of financial services is analyzed; a large part of the the course is dedicated to Fintech, focussing on competitive strategic choices of newcomers (FinTech and BigTech) and of traditional financial institutions (incumbents). Traditional lectures, seminars, business cases and project works are the teaching methods used.

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

BANK MANAGEMENT
(objectives)
This module aims to advance students’ understanding of modern banking systems and institutions, utilising economic theory and empirical evidence. A wide range of different topics is covered in this module. The module initially explores the complexity and integrated nature of international banking systems and regulation. The module emphasises on the relationship between financial systems and economic performance, particularly the mechanisms by which the former may help to improve resource allocation and economic growth and stabilise banking systems. It also examines the causes of weaknesses in financial systems, including the roots of financial crises. Information-related problems and the way these are addressed by different types of financial institutions and systems will be central to the analysis. The investigation of emerging issues and contemporary trends in domestic and international banking will also be an important part of this module. Finally, it aims at developing students’ ability to apply economic/finance tools and techniques in a variety of decision-making contexts for banking.

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

BANK MANAGEMENT
(objectives)
This module aims to advance students’ understanding of modern banking systems and institutions, utilising economic theory and empirical evidence. A wide range of different topics is covered in this module. The module initially explores the complexity and integrated nature of international banking systems and regulation. The module emphasises on the relationship between financial systems and economic performance, particularly the mechanisms by which the former may help to improve resource allocation and economic growth and stabilise banking systems. It also examines the causes of weaknesses in financial systems, including the roots of financial crises. Information-related problems and the way these are addressed by different types of financial institutions and systems will be central to the analysis. The investigation of emerging issues and contemporary trends in domestic and international banking will also be an important part of this module. Finally, it aims at developing students’ ability to apply economic/finance tools and techniques in a variety of decision-making contexts for banking.

(objectives)
The course focuses on the relationship between governance, risk management and financial disclosure, the aim of putting the students in the condition to evaluate the way that related company decisions are made and presented. This course moves from the idea that financial statements, together with other reporting published by the companies (i.e. the sustainability reporting), are a mean to communicate the overall state of health of the company and provide useful information regarding the measurement of different kinds of risks. In this view the purpose of the course is to assist students in analysis the financial of information published by the companies to understand the company’s financial results in the light of existent specific risks and how they are managed.

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

RISK AND ACCOUNTING
(objectives)
The course focuses on the relationship between governance, risk management and financial disclosure, the aim of putting the students in the condition to evaluate the way that related company decisions are made and presented. This course moves from the idea that financial statements, together with other reporting published by the companies (i.e. the sustainability reporting), are a mean to communicate the overall state of health of the company and provide useful information regarding the measurement of different kinds of risks. In this view the purpose of the course is to assist students in analysis the financial of information published by the companies to understand the company’s financial results in the light of existent specific risks and how they are managed.

Computational Finance
(objectives)
The course objective is to educate students about the MATLAB language and development environment, for programming, numerical calculation and visualization applied to financial problems. The rule of Computational Finance is becoming increasingly important in the financial industry, both for the modeling and analysis phase, as well as for the decision-making phase. Many models used in practice are formulated via complex mathematical problems, for which an exact or a closed-form solution could not be obtained. Consequently, computational techniques and specific numerical algorithms are required to solve such cases. Over the duration of the Course, we attempt to integrate the understanding of theoretical with their practical use. The application of quantitative financial models will be used to simplify the comprehension of some mathematical and statistical concepts and to learn the main computational techniques, which are useful to deal with a wide range of financial problems, such as portfolio optimization, risk management and derivatives pricing. Therefore, this course is not only suitable for university students, but also for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the quantitative financial models explored in this course.

ALGORITHMS IN FINTECH
(objectives)
Main goal: become familiar with mathematical programming techniques and algorithms to address problems in finance and data analysis. Specific goals are detailed next according to Dublin descriptors. - Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, students are expected to know the fundamental aspects of mathematical programming theory and algorithms as support to decision making in finance and data analysis. - Applying knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, students are expected to know how to rely on mathematical programming tools and methods, and computer software to practically address real-world problems in finance and data analysis. - Making judgements: the whole course is organized so as to make the students ask (themselves) the “right” questions. To achieve this objective, computer lab activities, exercise sessions, homework assignments, case study analyses are resorted to in a flipped classroom context. - Communication: students are continuously invited to lead lectures and participate directly and actively in the learning process in flipped classroom schemes. - Lifelong learning skills: lectures are devised to encourage self-motivated pursuit of knowledge. In fact, as detailed above, but also in the light of an ongoing evaluation approach, students are urged to develop a leading role during the lectures in a cooperative, as well as competitive environment.
