Executive Master in Finance MIF

Become the sounding board for senior management

As an Executive Master in Finance (MIF), you are the sounding board for senior management. In an ever more rapidly changing business environment, the organization can count on your ability to integrate strategic and financial analysis. This is made possible by:

• broad financial knowledge and skills for making sound financial decisions;
• broadening and deepening knowledge and insights within one’s own field of expertise and broadening your expertise to other fields;
• practical concepts and challenging working methods that stimulate new ways of thinking that can be directly applied in practice;
• interaction with mixed companies: learn from fellow students through interaction and sparring.

Alumnus Stef Hinfelaar, (CFO – DTG) about the Executive Master’s program

“I enjoyed going to college. In general I also liked the professors. I enjoyed all the subjects because they were very complementary or new to me. This is less true for the theme of strategy, because I have already explored it reasonably well in my previous studies. But I found the Finance modules, both Entrepreneurial and Advanced Corporate, very interesting, as well as the valuation issues that were discussed. The Risk Management course was also instructive, especially in relation to option theories. During this part-time master's program, a whole range of issues came up that gave me a very great deal of depth and breadth.”
