Finance modules
Finance modules are a great choice for finance professionals seeking continuing education. They are courses taught in the curriculum of our Executive MSc in International Finance (MIF) programme. The modules combine business relevance and academic rigour in unique ways – integrating the input of top academics, policy makers and key figures in the financial arena.
For whom?
Advance your financial career with a Finance module by learning more about a specific part of finance or add new skills to your CV. Each module will give you a greater understanding of themes such as corporate finance, asset management, banking, quantitative finance, financial technology or new paradigms in the industry. All classes are on-campus, so you need to have a valid visa for the Netherlands to be able to attend.
