MSC in FINANCE

The Finance Master’s programme explores these questions through real-life business cases, many of which are led by people who work in the financial industry themselves. You’ll look at the macro level of financial economics: how financial markets help maximise economic growth. You’ll also look at the inner workings of financial markets and corporations – and how financial regulation is the bridge between these two sides. With a Master’s in Finance, you can work in any of the large banks or consultancy firms, but also in institutions like the Central Bank or Ministry of Finance. Whichever direction you choose to go, a Master’s degree from the Finance programme, voted the best in the Netherlands by the National Student Survey (NSE), is the right place to start.
