Picking electives for Trinity

Woooooowww!

Hilary has hardly started (it's still week 0) and we're already asked to pick our electives for Trinity (3rd trimester).

We have 2 full days of presentations on the various electives we can choose. We have to pick 6 out of 35. Not easy!
The professors are really making an effort to convince us to pick their elective. They all have exactly 15 minutes to "sell" their elective to us...cool concept!

I'm currently considering the following electives:

-Theory & Practice of strategic negotiations
-Managing Complexity (new approach to business in cooperation with the Oxford Physics department)
-Social Finance
-Business History
-Controlling Management Information
-Entrepreneurial Finance
-Corporate Valuation
-Private Equity
-Restructuring & Implementation (including M&A)
-Capital Raising Techniques
-Lessons from Financial History


some other interesting electives from the list are:
-Business-State Relations
-Business in China
-Social Innovation
-Social Marketing Lab
-Real Estate
-Design Leadership (in cooperation with Design students from the University of London)


The allocation of the places in the elective courses is a really weired process. We all have 120 "credit points" that can be used by us to bid for places in the courses...kind of like e-bay ;)
