- The three-semester (90 ECTS), full-time English-taught programme provides you with an in-depth understanding of the principles and practices of international finance and economics. It offers both practical and international experience and prepares students for a wide range of career opportunities, e.g. in the global financial industry.
The accredited Master's programme (https://www.th-nuernberg.de/en/faculties/bw/study/international-business-bachelors-and-masters-degree-programs/international-finance-and-economics-msc/) is tailored for graduates wishing to obtain a strong specialisation in International Finance and Economics.
The Master's in International Finance and Economics consists of seven mandatory modules, five elective modules, and the Master's thesis.
