The curriculum of our new ‘Master in Finance’ major gives Bachelor level graduates an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of finance and to develop skills and competencies within the investment process. The degree is available to both domestic and foreign students. A strong undergraduate background in Finance, and English language fluency, are the necessary prerequisites for success. In addition to mainstream subjects like portfolio construction, risk management and the valuation of financial instruments, students are also taught modern quantitative methods and learn about innovations in finance. We emphasise ethics and professional standards, legal and governance issues, and behavioural aspects of financial markets.

Mandatory courses are complemented by a selection of elective courses chosen by students according to their individual interests. The curriculum covers a significant number of topics from levels 2 and 3 of the CFA Program curriculum.

Our Master level studies in Finance and Accounting provide students with the knowledge needed to succeed in the upper levels of the prestigious CFA Program examinations, which open up opportunities for a career in the world of finance. We also provide students with opportunities to participate in various projects to enable them to develop “soft” skills in areas such as team working and the delivery of presentations.

Students have the opportunity to study abroad under the Erasmus⁺ program, to engage in the activities of students’ scientific clubs, and also to apply for internships in partner institutions.

Graduates are also eligible to apply for third level studies (Doctoral Studies).

A graduate of the Master level program can find employment in banks, listed companies, various kinds of investment funds, other financial institutions, and market oversight and monitoring organisations. We cooperate closely with significant global players such as State Street, where program participants may apply for part-time employment during their studies.
