Boosts your up-to-date understanding of how strategy and valuation come together. It helped me better understand my PE clients' buy & build strategies from a growth option valuation perspective.

Great course- the material is engaging, and the assessments are challenging. The honours case study is worth doing to test your knowledge, plus the case study is a classic and well documented.

This course is really useful and gives you an expanded view of Business Valuation. I think this knowledge would be necessary if you're projecting yourself to work as an Investment Analyst. This will also be useful in the long run if you're in the position of strategic decision making.

This course gave me a clear overview of valuation & strategy and how it is used in practice. Furthermore, the topics of real option valuation and game theory were very interesting.
If you are still thinking about taking this course, stop thinking and just do it! You will not regret it.

Lot of efforts from faculty to give examples from various domains to explain the concept. As the course is advanced by design, we need to do refer additional references. Combining all such key topics and delivering it in 5 weeks is commendable. Thanks to Prof.Hans and all his teams.

Great course to expand you tools in valuating projects under uncertainty. The program is not comprehensive in a way to give you a full basis and complete confidence in how to use all the tools provided, but is a great theoretical and practical bottom line to start building upon.

This course gave me valuable insight in order to better value a company. Not by using static DCF Analysis but by combining DCF Approach with real options theory, It is very useful in the future path of my career. Thanks a lot coursera for providing such a brilliant course.

The course was very informative and eye opener for me. As I am not from finance background it was an uphill task for me to understand the terns and concepts. Thank you for the course. If you could have excel sheet templates for all topics it would be a great help.

I believe this course is the most useful one within online educational sources of finance and valuation subject. Indeed, it includes Real Options Theory and Game Theory which you can find them just in the most prestigious universities with expensive tuition fees.

Excellent explanation and exercises of key topics related to traditional valuation, real option valuation, and game theory. I recommend that you have completed an undergraduate-level of finance course to understand and apply the key concepts in this course.

A novel course to learn beyond generic company valuation by inculcating real-world scenarios and estimations.
A complete specialisation course in Modeling and Valuation must be provided by the institute which would be amazing for complete learning. Awaited!

Excellent course.
In some cases some elements are not clear and I wish it was possible to get the possibility to get some further details, however it may not be compatible with the essence of a MOCC
Anyway thank you

I think could be valuable for this course, incorporate some exercises in excel or other spreadsheets to have a better comprehension and to get the lesson on pdf for reviewing the course before the quizzes.

Interesting course on valuation methods. It is an advanced course so basic valuation and calculation skills are required.
The graded test are pretty difficult. The video's explain it all.

Very informative course however it would be better if we could have more opportunities to practice before the quiz as well as clearer answer's to the wrong answers for the final quiz.
