Finance

The Master's programme in Finance is geared towards corporate, institutional and governmental financial management, focusing on the functioning of international financial markets. After an advanced and comprehensive introduction to the various areas of finance, you can specialise in your own field of interest, ranging from corporate financial management to quantitative asset management. After completion, you will have developed into an academic financial specialist with a keen interest in financial economics, solid analytical skills, and a multidisciplinary outlook. In each semester the one-year programme allows for the choice of one optional course. At least of these has to chosen from a list of selected finance courses. Thus, you can opt for either specialising in-depth in financial economics with two finance courses or widening your field of interest by choosing only one finance course combined with a course from one of the faculty's other master programmes. Given the importance of financial markets, their constant innovation and the changing regulatory framework in the sector, there are likely to be many career opportunities for graduates of this discipline.
