This MSc programme pursues two main objectives: to foster participants’ analytical understanding of modern finance and banking, in an increasingly internationalized and highly complex financial world, and to enable participants to master decision-making and management skills in a demanding business environment. Students are first taught the basic functional courses, such as financial accounting, managerial economics, and quantitative methods, followed by a host of specialized courses in finance and banking. At the same time, they have the opportunity to choose from a variety of elective courses from the accounting, management, marketing, and human resources areas. Students who decide not to take any elective courses, they can earn the credits needed to graduate by writing a thesis on a finance and banking-related topic.
