Overview

The Business Engineering - Finance MSc programme from Ghent University teaches these disciplines both in a theoretical and a practice-oriented way.

Where the Bachelor of Science in Business Engineering mainly lays the (quantitative) foundation, the master programme studies different aspects of these subdisciplines in a more applied manner. The specific content of the study that links business analytics and business processes with technology helps to translate processes into business models and organisational structures into information systems. Business operations within a single company and between companies in a supply chain, that encompass processes and the logistical flow of products, services and/or information, are studied thoroughly by data analysis techniques, conceptual or mathematical modelling techniques and techniques of decision making. These tools support the efficient organisation of resources in companies towards its common goals and objectives.

Students can specialise and choose one of three main subjects: Data Analytics - Finance - Operations Management. The discipline Finance analyses the financial decisions of enterprises, as well as of investment managers who decide to invest in shares or derived financial instruments. The quantitative background of business engineers enables them to draw up complex financial models, for example with regard to risk management in enterprises, the planning of financial requirements, optimal investment portfolios, etc.
