<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>I currently go to uni in Australia and am planning to go on exchange to McCombs for semester 1 in 2011 (‘spring semester’ I believe). I’m majoring in finance/international business/economics and am wondering if there are any courses that are good for investment banking (e.g. valuations, M&A, etc.).</p>

<p>I know there is meant to be an “Investment Banking track” and I’ve looked through the course list on the faculty website but the aussie system is a bit different so I was hoping for some clarification from you guys.</p>

<p>Also, if anyone has any tips for me (courses to take/ avoid, accommodation, etc.) it would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>EU.</p>

<p>FIN 367 is Investment Management, a required class here for finance majors (I am a finance minor). I know there is a class categorized as “Topics in Finance” which may have some of the more investment banking oriented topics.</p>

<p>Yeh thanks, i’m pretty sure that i’m covered equivalent courses for all the required subjects. Is there anywhere i can find more info on what’s been covered in ‘Advanced Topics in Finance’ in recent semesters?</p>

<p>I’m also interested in FIN 374C and FIN 377.3. Have you heard anything about these courses?</p>
