Overview

The Finance and Banking program of the Zagreb School of Economics and Management position students well to obtain the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, which has become the most respected and recognized investment credential in the world.

Overview

Entry into the CFA Institute University Affliation Program signals to potential students, employers, and the marketplace that the Zagreb School of Economics and Management curriculum is closely tied to professional practice and is well-suited for preparing students to sit for the CFA examinations. Through participation in this program, the Zagreb School of Economics and Management is eligible to receive a limited number of student scholarships for the CFA Program each year.

The CFA Program sets a standard for developing the skills, standards, competence, and integrity of financial analysts, portfolio managers, investment advisers, and other investment professionals worldwide. It is widely considered the investment profession’s most rigorous credentialing program. Administered in English, the CFA curriculum and examinations are identical worldwide. Fewer than one in five candidates who begin the program successfully complete it and go on to earn the coveted CFA charter, the “gold standard” for investment professionals.
