The Executive Master in Finance provides you the latest theories, techniques and skills. You also obtain an extensive professional network. Therefore participants and alumni believe the program has been of great value.

  • Steven Clausing
    Head of Risk Management BinckBank N.V.

    "Having worked in the banking industry for a number of years, I already had considerable knowledge of the financial Industry and financial products. However, I wanted to deepen and broaden my expertise to prepare myself for the next step in my career. The Executive Master in Finance program significantly increased my financial expertise in the broadest sense. The lectures, given by very good teachers, in combination with the in-class discussions, books and cases from the best universities supported me to achieve my goals. It was an intense program, but the effort has been worthwhile."

  • Linde Penn
    Head of FSC Veghel, DHL Finance Services B.V.

    "The Executive Master in Finance exceeded my expectations of broadening my view by enabling me to gain more theoretical knowledge of financial decision making. The insight you get from the in class lectures, break out sessions and the interesting different views and experiences from fellow students, adds a tremendous value to the theoretical part of the program.
    My main take-away from this program is that there are many theories on which financial decision making is based, but the essence is to understand not only the methods but also the underlying motivation, assumptions and information used for decision making. Which is fully in line with the slogan never stop asking!
    I am sure that having done this this program supports me in making more sustainable business decisions and helps me in analyzing and understanding the decisions of others.
    Finalizing the studies next to my job, mastering more complex financial cases gave me a lot of confidence, a massive level of new energy and a reason to be proud of myself."
