For whom is this course?This course is suited for students whom have fini-shed Year. 13 / IB Grade 12 / 2º Bachillerato español this summer.

LecturerManuel Sánchez: Preparador de candidatos de nivel 1 de CFA y profesor de Estadística, Mate-máticas, Economía, Finanzas y materias relacio-nadas para alumnos universitarios de BBA y de MBA en español e inglés.

Dates8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 15th and 16th of June from 17:00 to 19:00

ObjectivesThe objective of this course is to deliver the basic knowledge which will empower the student for the best possible start in his uni-versity career. Many students who will study degrees related to Business, Economics, and Management have not been taught essential concepts in Finance, Accounting, Statistics or Mathematics, and in many occasions the gap is too wide for students to narrow, making it diffi-cult to overcome these subjects. In this course, the essential aspects from these concepts will be taught (Finance, Accounting, Statistics or Mathe-matics) to strengthen their basic knowledge for the upcoming university challenges.

• There are no prerequisites for this course —in it you will explore the laws of physics and prin-ciples of engineering and learn the rules as you play. There will be plenty of surprises along the way, but by the end you will have gained the understanding and insight to look at the world in a different way.

For whom is this course?This course is suited for students whom have finished Year. 11, Year. 12 / MYP Grade 10, IB Grade 11 / 4º ESO, 1º Bachillerato español this summer.
