Specialisation: Asset Pricing
Due to the changing nature of financial markets, specialists in asset pricing are in high demand. People who can translate financial theories into tangible actions are extremely valuable in today’s business world. In this specialisation, you will develop skills in IT, research, econometrics and mathematics, all of which are useful in any company. And you’ll be especially valued for the international experience you'll gain during your study and perhaps your internship.

The financial institutions sector is growing rapidly, especially in Europe, and job opportunities abound in the Netherlands, Germany and in many other countries. In addition, the master’s programme in Financial Economics has already established strong ties with a network of international companies, so making contacts with future employers is particularly straightforward.
