The course will be based on the textbook:

• “Principles of Corporate Finance” by Richard A. Brealey, Stewart C. Myers and Franklin Allen (McGraw Hill).

We will cover chapters 1 to 13 (10th edition). You can use the ninth as well as the tenth edition. Here you find a overview of the changes in the chapters. There will be no other articles or further readings for this course. The book also contains practice questions and quizzes for self-study and a link to a website with further materials.

Lecture slides and problem sets will be published online on the course's ILIAS page. The site provides the course materials and the course forum. Information on how to register for the course in ILIAS can be found here.
