An International Education for a World of Opportunities

As the world becomes increasingly global, it is an advantage to understand how to work with, communicate with, and appreciate people from different cultures and backgrounds. Companies are now hiring people who not only have all the necessary skills for their roles but people who can separate themselves from the crowd and contribute positively to an organization’s culture. With an amazingly diverse student body and faculty hailing from different continents and industries, the opportunity to grow as a global citizen at IUM is unparalleled.

What I found unique about the MSc in Finance, Hedge Funds & Private Equity was the excellent combination of quantitative and qualitative studies. Moreover, the small size of the class enabled us to interact with each other and professors on an entirely different level. Each lecture brought new perspectives leading to a tremendously steep learning curve. Most importantly, what I believe sets this very demanding program apart from its peers is the practical focus; literally, every module involved practical work such as advanced valuation modeling on Excel. The MSc in Finance at IUM is, in my view, the best possible preparation for a challenging and demanding career in the financial services industry.

My first and perhaps most crucial key takeaway from the MSc in Finance is the practical approach. We do not only learn the theory, but we daily apply what we have learned in real-life cases. This pedagogical approach has given me the confidence to enter a very demanding industry straight out of university. I was lucky to represent IUM in this year’s CFA Research Challenge, where my knowledge was really put to the test. By being selective, IUM ensures top-quality students and faculty, so there will always be enriching discussions across the classroom.
