- At the heart of this programme are issues relating to the financial sector, capital market theory, operating principles, and regulations of the banking and financial markets as well as empirical market research. This Master's programme is part of the International Study Programme (ISP Page Flow) (http://ovgu.pageflow.io/fww) and enables students to recognise and analyse economic problems on an academic and global level. Prospective students must consider that the FINEC study programme takes a strong theoretical and quantitative approach.
Students will gain skills to conduct self-directed research relating to economics and finance. They will complete practical projects while applying specialised research methods, independently develop solutions for scientific questions, and learn about the ethical and moral foundations necessary for business management worldwide.
The programme builds upon strong and advanced knowledge in economic theory, econometrics, and quantitative methods for finance. Students gain professional skills for challenging future careers in the private and public sectors of economies worldwide as well as for academic research endeavours (e.g. doctoral programmes).
