About Course

This module provides an in-depth exploration of corporate finance and the strategic role investment banks play in valuation and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Learners will master essential valuation techniques such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions—tools widely used to assess company worth and support financial decision-making. The course also examines how investment bankers offer expert guidance on capital structure optimization, fundraising methods, and corporate financial restructuring.

Beyond valuation, the module dives into the complexities of M&A transactions, covering strategic alignment, financial implications, and legal considerations. Learners will be equipped to understand each phase of the M&A process, from initial due diligence and deal structuring to closing and post-merger integration. Real-world M&A case studies will be used to reinforce practical skills, ensuring participants are well-prepared to analyze, structure, and support corporate transactions in dynamic financial environments.
