About the course

This is a hands-on, applied course on Valuation designed for professional master’s students in management. The course bridges theory and practice, equipping students with the essential tools to assess company value in a variety of settings. Students will explore the core concepts and methodologies used in valuation, developing the ability to critically analyze corporate performance, investment opportunities, and strategic decisions.

The course will be structured around topics that are highly relevant to management professionals, including: introduction to valuation principles, relative valuation, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, the role of leverage in valuation, managing project uncertainty, equity valuation techniques, and valuation in mergers and acquisitions. As a final deliverable, students will complete a capstone project applying one or more of these valuation methods to a real-world company or transaction.
