Course content

The Master of Science in Finance is a one year program designed for students wishing to enhance their understanding of financial analysis in a very practical environment.

The program is fully taught in English, making of its international perspective one of its major strengths. The curriculum puts a particular emphasis on ethics, responsibility and sustainability issues, acknowledging that an ethical attitude is critical for successful investment managers and financial analysts. Through the observation of professional practices, students are given a unique opportunity to learn the ethics of the profession. Theory is put into practice in the financial markets lab, where students may also earn professional certifications.

The MSc in Finance has been accepted into the CFA Institute University Recognition Program. This status is granted to institutions whose degree program(s) incorporate at least 70% of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK), which provide students with a solid grounding in the CBOK and positions them well to sit for the CFA exams.

The Master of Science in Finance is developed to enhance the participants’ understanding of financial mechanisms.

The program is offered on a full-time basis and consists of 2 consecutive semesters of courses (September – May) followed by a professional experience (from June onwards). The curriculum is developed around core courses, including Bloomberg certifications, to provide participants with strong fundamentals in corporate finance and in financial markets, as well as elective courses to gain a better understanding of special topics in finance.

Throughout the program the ethics of finance and market practices are discussed with professionals.
