Ambika Sharma, USA, MiQE/F student and Student Council representative (2010/2011)
	”MIQE/F appealed to me because it combines in-depth knowledge of economics with rigorous quantitative skills such as various econometric methods. The programme also allows the freedom to choose between a concentrated study of econometrics, finance, or corporate insurance. In mere 1.5 years of training, MIQE/F enables students to undertake empirical research in any given area of interest. This is a programme that truly prepares students for a competitive career or a prospective PhD with adequate skills. Moreover, MIQE/F attracts some of the most able students from Switzerland and abroad, who form a strong cohort of intelligent, ambitious, hardworking and extremely helpful students at the HSG.” Contact Student Council

Students benefit from close contact with an international faculty. When questions and new challenges arise, professors are always ready to help at short notice. People who are looking for an academically demanding programme in a familiar atmosphere will be in the right place.”
