My last Finance Excursion to New York is planned for December – but the preparations are under way – more or less since the beginning of the
summer semester and then the first weeks of the winter term. For over 10 years every two years we have visited this centre of international finance.
Dozens of students had the chance to gather international finance experience, to learn from reality in this exciting centre of finance, to build up
connections for internships and bachelor theses. This field trip is integrated into my course International Capital Markets – but also connected with
quite a lot of material about International Financial Engineering (structured finance, project finance ...). The theoretical high level of this
course and excursion requires advanced students, so students participating are at least in their third semester in the winter term, where we work
on basics of finance (corporate finance). As parallel we shall work on the financial topics we shall deal with in New York, we’ll be nicely prepared
for the trip.
The students who are now in their second semester and I have started working on my last International Baltic Sea Forum on 10th / 11th / 12th
Oct 2012. In the last two previous news I had already announced:
“It will be my turn then in 2012 – and: This will be my last full time term at FH Stralsund, meaning it will be a kind of "fare well event".
So please keep this in mind!! We’ll have guest speakers from my excursions of all over the world, students from BMS that are active in banking and
from our partner universities. Even if you are not a finance fan: note the date!”
In co-operation with the “Studium Generale” on Wednesday evening we shall have an opening speech and a get together (this will be – as it is organised
in co operation with the “Studium Generale” – held in German). For non-German speaking we shall also have a little get together. The actual forum
will take place on Thursday – of course in English.
Still not having overcome the crises that have hit the world economies since years, these problems will be in the focus of the
forum under the headline
„challenges & opportunities – discussing the financial future“

Friday will be reserved for a sightseeing program for our international guests who don’t know Stralsund and a program for our alumni. A group of students
is working on an interesting schedule for this BMS alumni meeting that will give the alumni enough chances to communicate with each other, meet some
of our other professors and give me the chance to see what they are doing now and to say good bye to them.
