Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Der Studiengang "Quantitative Asset and Risk Management" (kurz: ARIMA) startet heuer im Herbst zum vierten Mal und die ersten AbsolventInnen haben hervorragende
Chancen auf dem momentan doch recht schwierigen Arbeitsmarkt.
**Für das kommende Studienjahr 2012/13 werden noch Bewerbungen bis zum 15. Juni 2012 entgegen genommen.**
Die Entwicklung dieses Programmes erfolgte gemeinsam mit internationalen Partneruniversitaeten in Prag, Istanbul und Katowice und wurde von der EU als Joint Degree Curriculum Development Programm gefoerdert. Im 3. Semester findet daher ein verpflichtender Auslandsaufenthalt (zweimal 3 Wochen geblockt) bei einer der Partneruniversitaeten statt. Daraus ergibt sich auch, dass die Unterrichtssprache durchgaengig Englisch ist. Im Bereich Internationalisierung konnte außerdem mit der Universität Bologna, die einen Master in Quantitative Finance anbietet, ein Double Degree Abkommen abgeschlossen werden
Das Ziel von ARIMA besteht darin, den Studierenden ein umfassendes Verstaendnis ueber die Zusammenhaenge zwischen Asset- und Risikomanagement im Finanzbereich zu vermitteln.
Die AbsolventInnen erhalten eine fundierte Ausbildung im Risikomanagement (Quantifizierung von Risiken, Risikoaggregation; integrierte Steuerung von Banken und Versicherungen etc.) und Asset Management (Assetklassen, Portfolioselektion, Asset Liability Management, etc.). Hinzu treten methodisch-analytische Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten, vor allem in Finanzmathematik und Statistik.
Voraussetzungen zur Teilnahme am Masterprogramm:
Im Anschluss an ein wirtschafts-, sozial-, natur- oder rechtswissenschaftliches oder technisches Studium einer Universitaet oder Fachhochschule kann der vier Semester umfassende und berufsbegleitend organisierte Masterstudiengang ARIMA absolviert werden.
Weiters muessen besuchte Lehrveranstaltungen im Bereich Mathematik/Statisitk und Wirtschaftswissenschaften nachgewiesen werden.
Aufnahmeverfahren:
Formales Kriterium fuer die Teilnahme am Aufnahmeverfahren ist eine schriftliche Bewerbung bis spaetestens 15. Juni 2012.
Das Aufnahmeverfahren selbst besteht aus einem strukturierten Interview (kurze Praesentation zu einem aktuellen Finanzthema auf Englisch und zusaetzliche Fragen zur Motivation fuer die Bewerbung) und einem Multiple-Choice Test. Die Literatur fuer den MC-Test kann von der homepage der FH des bfi Wien heruntergeladen werden. Der MC-Test findet am 26. Juni 2012 statt. Die strukturierten Interviews werden von Mitte Mai bis Ende Juni gefuehrt.
Lektorenpool aus dem wissenschaftlichen und berufsrelvanten Bereich:
Um einerseits theoretische Grundlagen zu vermitteln und andererseits die Anwendung der Theorie in der Praxis aufzuzeigen, konnten namhafte Lektoren aus diesen Bereichen fuer eine Vortragstaetigkeit in ARIMA gewonnen werden. Beispielshaft seien das IHS, die TU Wien, Oesterreichische Grossbanken und die OeNB genannt.
Wir hoffen, Ihr Interesse fuer den neuen Studiengang geweckt zu haben und wuerden uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie dieses Schreiben an weiterbildungsinteressierte Personen in Ihrem Unternehmen weiterleiten wuerden. Fuer weitere Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfuegung (silvia.helmreich(a)fh-vie.ac.at) oder besuchen Sie unsere homepage:

SPEAKER:
Prof. Dr. Franklin ALLEN, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
TOPIC:
"IS US GOVERNMENT DEBT DIFFERENT?
EFFECTS OF THE US DEBT CRISIS ON GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS"
ABSTRACT:
The skyrocketing U.S. government debt, the standoff over the statutory debt limit between the Congress and the President of the United States, underlines the urgent need to consider the unthinkable: default, restructuring, or a wholesale reassessment of the U.S. Treasury securities' place in the world. Franklin Allen presents major results from his recently published book "Is US Government Debt Different?", that contains contributions by economists, historians, lawyers, market participants, and policy makers. He will discuss different aspects of U.S. government debt, including its role in the global financial markets, its constitutional, statutory and contractual basis, and its sustainability. Having laid the conceptual foundation, Professor Allen will also present a thought experiment, mapping out options for a hypothetical U.S. debt restructuring.
ABOUT FRANKLIN ALLEN:
Franklin Allen is the Nippon Life Professor of Finance and Professor of Economics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He has been on the faculty since 1980. He is currently Co- Director of the Wharton Financial Institutions Center. He was formerly Vice Dean and Director of Wharton Doctoral Programs and Executive Editor of the Review of Financial Studies, one of the leading academic finance journals. He is a past President of the American Finance Association, the Western Finance Association, the Society for Financial Studies, and the Financial Intermediation Research Society, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society. He received his doctorate from Oxford University. Dr. Allen's main areas of interest are corporate finance, asset pricing, financial innovation, comparative financial systems, and financial crises. He is a co-author with Richard Brealey and Stewart Myers of the eighth through tenth editions of the textbook Principles of Corporate Finance.
