Description of Invention

Diploma students often encounter challenges when studying investment subjects, primarily stemming from an aversion to complex calculations and perceiving the topic as uninteresting. To address these issues, an innovative solution emerges: experiential learning through simulation platforms called Bursa Marketplace. This approach transforms the traditionally tedious investment curriculum into an engaging, hands-on experience. By immersing students in realistic investment scenarios, they gain practical insights and enhance their understanding of financial concepts, making the subject more appealing and accessible. Simultaneously, this method equips students with vital skills applicable to real-world finance, fostering enthusiasm and competency while bridging the gap between theory and practice.
