Finance Courses in 2010 summer...

[themouselovetherice]

Hello,

I am now 2nd-year student at Arcada UAS and i'm seeking for any kind of intermediary level of Finance courses such as Portfolio Management, Options and derivatives,etc. I already searched in Helsinki Summer School,HSE,Hanken yet there are no finance courses available in summer. Although my major is International Business,however; i am keen on Finance and decided to pursue it as my major in the future..Any recommendations for it, i would appreciate it soooo much...Else, any like-mined people are interested in Finance, we would probably exchange ideas.. Also,i'm searching for any competitions in term of financial simulation so that i could improve my finance savvy and learn from practice everywhere in the world..Finance Club in Helsinki helps me a lots as well!!1

I am looking forward to hearing your suggestions...

Elisa.

It's been less than 24h since your first message, posted on a week-end when most residents in Finland have something to celebrate (Vappu). The answer to your questions will certainly come if you can wait a bit more perhaps.

Please keep in mind also that people replying to questions on a forum do that on a voluntary basis, on their spare time, they don't get any reward for that except the satisfaction to have helped somebody else, and rarely even a "thank you". So I guess you can grant those people a bit more than 24h to answer your question

@NanaM: Oh,oh no no, i dont mean that at all....You re right last weekend was Vappu so peopke were busy to celebrate their great holiday ever...I am sorry to be in hurry because it is my first time to post question in Finland forum and obviously i have been so excited about getting responses from others...I ve seen that some read my thread but no one replies so..to some point probably i did st wrong..
Thanks for your remind....I appreciate for it...

No, you didn´t do anything wrong. But it is hard to answer if one doesn´t know.

Er... (I'm guessing) you are looking for courses in English???

So your shopping list looks like this:

- portfolio managment course
- in English
- in Helsinki
- in summer
- for free


I don't think you will find what you are looking for in Finland. You could try looking for distance learning courses from the UK (eg http://www.open.ac.uk ) but they won't be for free. You can probably also find summer residential courses in the UK or some other destination in Europe (eg the Ecoles de Commerce in France).

Since you already belong to some kind of Finance club in Helsinki, have you thought of asking them? They are far more likely to be able to answer your question than people on here I think.

@ penelope: Perhaps i mislead you that i have not ever been to any Finance Club in Hel..What i mean is that finance Club will help me a lots!!Furthermore, I am willing to pay the coursers because there is no free lunch:D.You might be right because that kind of stuff hardly find in Finland..What a Finland!!Hic!I will search for the open course you recommend..I did see lots of your post in Finland Forum,cool!!Thanks
@Pursuivant:I have asked them that the course is taught in Finnish/Swedish which depends on who is gonna take it..Preferably no English at all...Yet thanks for your precious time to look for info!!
I am longing for any like-minded people............
