Interest in financial markets and institutions
Students should have a great interest in financial markets and institutions and in the academic issues related to them. They should have strong analytical skills and be interested in dealing with questions of financial market theory or financial services and institutions management in depth. Specialisation in the field of finance will also be contingent on an interest in quantitative methods and their application.

“At university, I was hardly able to imagine how much influence the MBF Program would have on my future. The knowledge gained in lectures such as Derivative Instruments, Corporate Finance, Pension Finance and Financial Services Management affects essential parts of my daily business nowadays. I got convinced that the conceptual content of the lessons taught at the HSG is absolutely in step with actual practice. I am glad that I was able to enjoy such an effective education.”
