Let's take a look at the students who have studied in IC to briefly talk about one year's study life:
"August: 2 compulsory courses (online exercises)+1 mathematics elective course (basic). There is a course in the financial market that requires more than 50% quizzes in each chapter. You can do it back and forth, but if you don't do more than 50% in more than two chapters, a teacher will contact you by email. Accountant will pass the unified examination at the end of September, passing 50%. If it fails, please retake it back and forth ~
September: 4-week intensive class, five days a week, nine to five. The most exaggerated thing is that on the first day of meeting, I sent a computer bag with ic logo, which contained a box of books. This preparatory course includes financial modeling, business evaluation, market and; Securities, financial market (group demonstration) and computer courses all have coursework and exams, and they must pass. In addition, every night, there are various units doing demonstrations.
65438+ 10-65438+mid-February: 9 weeks, the first semester, four compulsory courses, and the tenth week is to complete all four exams before the Christmas holiday. Congratulations, you have started a very quant life, financial mathematics, financial economics, investment &; Portfolio management, enterprise financing. Different people have different views. I'm nervous. Usually there are 2-4 courses of various quizzes and subjects every week.
65438+ 10-early March: Congratulations on the first semester. If you are lucky, you will get high marks. Generally, you have at least passed the exam. It's a pity that you have accumulated make-up exams. This semester is 2 compulsory courses +2 -3 elective courses (depending on your chosen research paper or applied finance project) +2 basic computer courses (VBA). Derivatives (John Hull's classic textbook) and advanced financial econometrics (without textbooks, various time series theories are difficult to study), as well as various elective courses, all of which are online, which are still good. Elective courses are always out of sync. Sometimes it's hard to take the exam, but it's hard to take the exam and it's hard to fight for character. Still the same as the first semester, 9 weeks of classes, 10 weeks of exams.
From March to the end of June: I will continue to attend classes for two weeks as soon as I finish the exam last semester, and then I can change to an elective course or something. Then there will be a three-week holiday, and then I will continue to study for the rest of the day. Statistically speaking, it is also a 9-week class. Only 2-3 courses +2 computer courses (adv. VBA+ adv. C++) are selected this semester.
July-end of August: dissertation /AFP, big thesis 1w, AFP project 3k. During this period, you are allowed to drop out of school and take part in work/internship. It should be said that the task is basically completed. "
