International Finance

Introduction

Since 1996 the Master's programme in International Finance (MIF) has provided students with high-quality, thorough training in the theoretical and practical aspects of international finance. This well-established programme draws on the FEB's recognised centre of excellence in finance and financial econometrics. The programme is open to full-time and part-time students and boasts a truly international student body and approach to finance. The programme is ideal both for those wishing to pursue a career in finance and for established finance professionals who want to enhance their career prospects. While courses are practice-oriented rather than academically-oriented,  the programme maintains high academic standards and students learn about state of the art research in relevant areas.

Programme structure and curriculum

The MIF programme is offered on a full-time (12 months) and part-time basis (18-24 months). For the most up-to-date information on the programme structure and the course curriculum please refer to the link below.

Career prospects

The MIF programme is ideal for those seeking a career in finance and for established finance professionals who are looking to enhance their career prospects. Graduates go on to work in areas that require thorough understanding of the complexities of international finance, such as asset management, corporate finance, project finance and treasury. Graduates often pursue careers in international organisations, such as international financial institutions, investment banks, multinational corporations or international consultancy and accounting firms.

What our students say

Vasily Agapov, USA
Market Risk Group at Merrill Lynch, London

'I was looking for a programme with a personal approach in an international environment. The quantitative track of the MIF fit the bill precisely. It provided me with a well-balanced curriculum, academically excellent yet approachable professors and a lively alumni network. Most importantly, the MIF gave me the chance to form lasting friendships with my classmates and to experience student life in Amsterdam. By the time I graduated I was able to secure a full-time position in the market risk group at Merrill Lynch in London.'
