Finance
MSc in Finance is a general university education in finance. It provides students with thorough knowledge of and competence in finance. Upon graduation, our students are expected to begin careers in financial institutions, regulatory bodies, consulting businesses or finance departments in non-financial companies.
The programme has a clearly defined structure with a focus on global finance so the programme is relevant for all international students. The global financial markets are highly developed and integrated and as a consequence of this complexity and sophistication, there is an increasing demand for graduates with degrees in finance at the highest level. Therefore the MSc in Finance is perfect for students seeking a career in finance in a global setting.
The ultimate ambition of the programme is to prepare our students for making the right decisions at the right time; this ability requires excellent analytical skills and a talent for embracing all relevant data, as well as cultural issues.
Finance and other advanced research areas are based on statistical and mathematical models. It is therefore an advantage for students to be familiar with these areas before they begin the programme. The models are integrated into the courses so that the students study the models in relation to their applications. It is our experience that the learning outcome is much higher when the models are part of the various courses.
