Over the course of studies, students acquire theoretical as well as practical knowledge and skills to comprehend and apply mathematical models on complex financial problems.
The Master Quantitative Finance is a full-time program which takes 4 semesters.
The bridging courses will refresh and deepen your skills and knowledge in the relevant fields and prepare you for the classes of the first semester. We strongly recommend that you attend these courses.
The bridging courses will be offered in September prior to the program start. The bridging courses can only be attended by students already admitted to the Master Program in Quantitative Finance.
The second year starts with advanced courses in major fields of finance and economics for all students, before you choose between Science Track and the Industry Track. In the master thesis, you demonstrate your ability to independently deal with a topic by drawing on your learned knowledge and skills.
