MSc Economics and Business - Specialisation in Financial Economics

Do you aim for a career in private equity, corporate finance, banking, or asset management? The Financial Economics specialisation covers it all.

In one of the three tracks - Corporate Finance, Investments, or Financial Innovation - you will acquire a deep and systematic knowledge of the driving forces behind companies, markets, and economies. You learn to analyse and explain complex financial and business problems, including setting up and executing a scientifically sound research project based on a financial problem of your own choice.
