    This course is only open for BIZ students. A maximum of 80 students can be accepted to the course. Students at Aalto Finance M.Sc. programme (i.e. who have graduated as B.Sc.) will be guaranteed a seat on Finance M.Sc. courses. Students re-taking the course (grade already registered) will not be prioritized and can participate only if there are places remaining. CEMS students are similarly guaranteed a seat for this course. Remaining seats are prioritized as follows:

    1. Finance M.Sc. exchange students from other universities
    1. Aalto Finance B.Sc. students with a finished B.Sc. thesis (registered in transcript of records)
    3. All other M.Sc. students at the School of Business
