Introduction to Finance
- Platform: Coursera
- Length:4 weeks
- Time commitment/Pre-requisites: 4 to 7 hours of work per week. Exposure to economics, accounting, and/or algebra and statistics will help. However, the course covers the fundamentals and will highlight when there is a need for you to do some further work in specific subjects.
- Why you should consider it:This course will introduce you to frameworks and tools to measure value; both for corporate and personal assets. It will also help you in decision-making, again at both the corporate and personal levels. This course is primarily devoted to the fundamental principles of valuation. We will learn and apply the concepts of time value of money and risk to understand the major determinants of value creation. We will use both theory and real world examples to demonstrate how to value any asset.
