inboundThe MSF Program accepts incoming exchange students and free mover students from the University’s and the Faculty’s partner universities around the world to create a more international learning environment. Most of them are from European universities, namely, University of ESCP Europe, University of St.Gallen, Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, University of Zurich, and Aalto University School of Business.
Study tripThe Program also arranges study trips to visit our partner universities and financial institutes. For example, in the past years, the study trip destinations were Hong Kong and Japan. All students are welcome to join this trip. The MSF Program however will partially support a certain number of students’ expenses. If applications are more than the predetermined number, students will be chosen based on their academic performance and are responsible for all expenses themselves. After the trip, students must write a group report.

“I made the right choice to study MS in Finance in 1999. The program seemed to be very difficult and too theoretical at that time, but it finally differentiated me from others. Its curriculum and resources prepared me to understand the reasons behind most of the financial decisions, risks and returns. I can say that MS in Finance is one of my key success factors.”
