Business Administration: Specialization in Financial Management

The Financial Management specialization of the Master's programme in Business Administration is built on 3 main pillars: Corporate Finance, Management/Financial Accounting and Financial Markets. Professionals in financial management, whether they work for financial or non-financial companies, are required to have expertise in three major fields: they need to have a thorough understanding of how to acquire financial resources (Corporate Finance), to know the lie of the land in the financial environment (Financial Markets) and to have a keen awareness of how to manage and report on internal financial flows (Management/Financial Accounting). In addition to the core curriculum, the programme has two focus areas: Financial Management in business (Finance & Accounting) and Financial Management in the financial sector (Banking & Insurance. Students can either opt for further specialization in corporate finance and/or accounting issues, or to deepen their understanding of the banking or insurance industry. The Financial Management specialization typically prepares students for a career in one of the many and varied professions that fall under the category of financial management.
