Valuation programme

The Valuation programme equips you with the most effective valuation tools, so you have the power to correctly appraise financial decisions and value companies.

Learn how to apply discounted cash flow analysis, cost of capital analysis, risk analysis and other valuation tools, including multiples.

Gain an understanding of the concepts of value, return and profitability under conditions of risk and uncertainty. Starting from the basics, you work progressively to more complex valuations. Throughout the programme, you will use these skills to work in groups on a company valuation project.

The daytime format taught by Professor Ian Cooper, is an intensive learning experience with the programme running over five consecutive days. The timetable includes evening group work valuing a company to enable you to benefit from applying the material covered during the day.

The evening format taught by Professor Christopher Hennessy, starts in January and consists of weekly evening lectures over a 10-week period. Participants are given the option to attend additional evening tutorials designed to help consolidate information learned in the main lectures.

Key topics include:

• Valuation techniques and their application
• Capital markets and cost of capital
• Project appraisal methods and their application
• Company valuation
• Valuation using multiples
• Risk and return

On completion, you will be able to:

• Evaluate investment projects
• Value companies
• Understand capital market behaviour, risk and cost of capital

You will have the opportunity to use real-life business case studies to apply key concepts introduced in lectures. Group work and discussions will reinforce your learning, and great emphasis is placed on class participation.

Because these programmes attract experienced, diverse and motivated business professionals from around the world, you gain inspiring international perspectives on valuation.

The Valuation programme forms part of a three-programme sequence including Accounting and Financial Analysis and Funding, Risk, and Restructuring, which can be taken individually or in any combination.   Completion of all three programmes means you gain access to London Business School's global alumni network.
