Module (BSc): Financial Data Science in Practice / Module (MSc): Advanced Machine Learning and Data Science

 

9 ECTS Research Project (BSc and MSc)

This research-oriented module offers highly motivated Master students the opportunity to work in small interdisciplinary teams (2–6 students) on applied machine learning and data science problems using real-world financial data. Students from industrial engineering, computer science, mathematics, and related fields are welcome—team composition may intentionally combine complementary skill sets.

Topics

Projects cover modern machine learning techniques with direct application to financial market data. Examples include:

  • End-to-End Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

  • Deep Supervised Learning and Forecasting

  • Natural Language Processing applied to financial communication and market sentiment

All topics are connected to ongoing research projects at the Chair of Financial Economics and Risk Management and align with the broader KABFI Ph.D. research environment.
