O1: To understand the data and corresponding variables that are relevant for Financial Risk Analysis.
O2: To extract knowledge from data in the banking sector.
O3: To develop small Data Science projects for Financial Risk Analysis.
CP1: Introduction to Banking Risk (overview of different types of risk). Types of models used for banking risk analysis (e.g., liquidity risk or other risks, and the regulatory or internal metrics used to assess them).
CP2: Types of models for banking risk analysis (continuation), including their connection to day-to-day risk events.
CP3: Introduction to Data Science; practical exercises using the Orange tool.
CP4: Relevant variables in banking risk analysis (presentation and interpretation of variable outcomes).
CP5: Information visualization; predictive models using data.
CP6: Practical exercises in banking risk analysis using the Orange tool (e.g., predicting liquidity stress in a bank, simulation with a new event, and discussion of results).
Since the UC is mostly of practical experimentation and critical reasoning, there will be no fully written examination component. The final grade is calculated under the category "assessement along the semester" by assessing:
