Finance
Overview
This highly ranked program allows students to master multiple areas of finance, from investment banking to risk management, from corporate finance to asset pricing and derivatives, from financial advisory to asset management. This – combined with a thorough methodological preparation covering both traditional and innovative artificial intelligence techniques – is the program’s competitive advantage when compared to the one-year graduate programs widely available.
The MSc in Finance is divided into two main tracks: the Finance Track and the Finance Global Experience Track. Each is intense and challenging, exposing participants to different international learning environments.
Students must select the track of interest as a separate program choice when submitting the application for admission.
