Learning Resources for Equity Research / Asset Management / HedgeFund

Im an undergrad business informatics student (switching to business administration/econ) from germany and targetting a career in the above mentioned fields. From my perspective it's pretty hard to find good and valuable learning resources taught by professionals from their perspective. I know that WSO has the "Investment Analysis" course and I know that there are some other courses around, but I want to make sure to know the quality of what I'm buying especially considering the price (poor student). Maybe anyone of you can tell me the most valuable resources which helped you gain industry standard information while considering the price :)
