Master's Degree Programmes

Finance

The programme provides you with a thorough understanding of and training in effective identification, analysis, and resolution of complex financial problems. The programme is research driven and based on the principle of academic rigor in practical application.

The aim of the programme is to familiarise you with advanced theoretical and empirical concepts in both financial economics and corporate finance. It will extend your knowledge of the major areas of financial decision-making and train you to identify, analyse and resolve complex financial problems. Important objectives are to familiarise you with the main areas of investigation and research techniques used in finance, and to give you the general knowledge required to specialise in your preferred area of finance.

After graduation, there are extensive job opportunities for you as a finance professional and specialist. Future careers include positions in the financial services sector (commercial and investment banking), insurance firms, supervisory authorities, in corporate finance functions in both financial and non-financial firms, and work as financial consultants. Graduates have found employment at e.g. Deutsche Bank, McKinsey, Accenture and Maersk. The programme is also an excellent preparation for future doctoral studies in finance.

The School offers both a one year MSc degree (60 ECTS) and a two years MSc degree (120 ECTS) in Finance. The 1-year programme is designed to give you a sound knowledge in the basic methods of advanced finance, allow you to specialise in a specific area of interest and enable you to apply your knowledge to analyse real world problems. The 2-year programme further deepens this knowledge, broadens the areas of interest and/or introduce you to research methods.
