The first is the "Internship Academic Project":
"This highly interactive module is focused on preparing students to be successful during their internship by helping them explore their own personality, as well as giving them awareness and skills on key success factors such as team dynamics, communication, leveraging diversity and giving and receiving feedback. The module also includes a graded personal reflective log of students' time as interns to encourage continuous learning as well as a team presentation that focuses on participants using taught content to create and deliver a successful final presentation to a panel of assessors."
The second is the "Business Analytics Finance Project":
"In order to obtain the best outcomes from investment strategies, firms need to make optimal use of business information systems for financial data, analyzing that data to make investment decisions. This course uses cases in financial decision making to frame (a) the role of a cutting-edge information system in the business process and (b) the use of large-scale financial data for decision-making using spreadsheet models. This course is based in the Deloitte Analytics Lab in UCD Quinn School of Business, where students will gain hands-on experience in training and use of the Bloomberg financial information system. Student groups use the Bloomberg [TMSG] Trade Idea Messaging System to evaluate investment proposals and monitor their performance in a simulated context. The main phase of this course comprises a week of hands-on sessions in the Deloitte Analytics Lab, where students will work in groups and individually. This week incorporates industry visits and guest speakers. Over the following five weeks, during their internship, students will be required to monitor an investment portfolio and present their final project during the final week of the summer programme."
