Overview

Within the Global Finance MSc program from CBS International Business School you will acquire in-depth knowledge in business administration and finance.

Key facts

Your university education will focus on seminars on “Business Economics”, “International Investment” and “Values Based Management”.

The merger of two companies and the acquisition of business units are typical transactions in the international business environment. The entry into new sales markets and company growth often occurs through such M&A activities.

Before this happens, however, it is necessary to evaluate the takeover candidate. During the first three semesters of the master’s programme “Global Finance” you will learn the tools for due diligence in the seminars “Empirical Research Methods” and “Applied M&A and Restructuring”.

Careers and opportunities

After graduating, you will have many opportunities in the world of finance – from a management position in medium-sized organisations, to investment banks, to multinational corporations.

With your master’s degree, you also have the admission requirement for a doctorate.
