Based on these insights, the course assesses why banks are fragile and affected by financial contagion. In this regard, the role of the government is discussed, in alleviating the consequences of financial crises. For instance, how the central bank can act as a lender of last resort to prevent liquidity crises. It also covers European banking union’s influence on the Euro area’s financial system. Other topics included in the course are: financial intermediaries, shadow banking sector, in contrast to traditional banks, channels funds from savers to borrowers, different entities of the shadow banking sector and how financial innovations change banks’ business models and how they change the interplay between banks and other financial institutions, in particular shadow banks and FinTechs.

Internship or Skills Development Courses
During summer Frankfurt School students can do internships not only to gain practical experience but also to apply and use some of the new analytical tools and knowledge gained through the core and concentration modules. The internship can be evaluated to waive 6 ECTS if relevant to the field of study or concentration the student is specializing and the objective is achieved. Instead of an internships students can also take skills development courses or attend summer schools preapproved by the Programme Management.

Quantitative Trading and Analysis with Python
The course dives into the world of applied Python programming with an emphasis on quantitative trading, portfolio management, financial analysis, and risk monitoring. It is a course about “smart” asset management that uses a number of statistical and economic principles and Python as the implementation language.

Statistical techniques, portfolio optimization, and (potentially) some machine learning tools are actively applied in the course. Individual homework assignments are designed to deliver partial inputs into the final group project, and by the end of the course each group will program a real quantitative strategy that makes investment decisions on a regular basis, analyze/ backtest its performance and produce an extensive investment report.
