Equipped for management tasks with a Finance Master's degree
A Finance Master's degree is a Master's degree awarded by a university or college. The course imparts a broad range of knowledge in the field of finance and ideally prepares graduates for a career in the financial sector. Like the activities in this dynamic field, the programs are very popular and places are usually filled quickly. A Master's in Finance can be completed in a variety of fields, including Investment Banking, Accounting and Taxation, Risk Management, Corporate Finance and Wealth Management.
Graduates of a corresponding course are ideally equipped for their day-to-day work and are able to understand the financial services industry and its key drivers and influencing factors. They also know and master the key parameters and decision-making approaches for investment decisions on financial markets and understand the influence of digitalization on the business models of financial service providers. Naturally, graduates of a Finance Master's degree also acquire comprehensive leadership, project and process management skills during their studies, which qualify them for a management role in practice.
Corresponding courses are offered at various colleges and universities. They usually last four to five semesters. A Bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for participation in a Finance Master's program, usually with a focus on economics. If students lack knowledge in areas such as business administration, economics, statistics and accounting, they can often take preliminary courses to acquire the necessary knowledge. In addition, advanced knowledge of written and spoken English is usually a prerequisite for admission and must be proven with a language certificate.
A Finance Master's degree is aimed at specialists from various fields and types of companies. For example, it is particularly suitable for prospective managers in financial institutions such as banks, financial services companies or pension funds, as well as for specialists and managers in corporate finance departments. However, investment advisors and managers, management consultants in financial topics or employees of a professional association can also gain the necessary skills to be well equipped for their professional future with a Finance Master's degree.
