The Master in Finance & Accounting will enable you to build the knowledge and analytical skills needed to design and implement the management systems used to plan and control a firm's performance.

The goal of any enterprise is to create value for its stakeholders.

During this one-year Master in Finance and Accounting, you will learn how to collect and open up all relevant financial information that a business needs to succeed, how to communicate with your stakeholders and how to take the lead in the process. You will be taught how to improve a business’s ability to withstand extreme or unforeseen events, allowing it to take advantage and respond confidently to unfolding opportunities. Finally, you will gain the skills to connect organisations, their data, people and processes.+

Programme structure
Hogeschool Rotterdam Business School's Master programmes are built on three pillars:

  • Education consists of core, specialisation and elective modules. You can to a large extent determine your own course while developing all the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies of a professional in international business.
  • Research is the focus of the final stage of our programmes. You will complete your studies with a thesis research project, which can revolve around a theoretical subject or a project executed for an existing organisation.
  • Personal development is encouraged through a system that invites you to set your own particular study goals - and continually test those choices.
