Study finance in Groningen and Lund and learn about corporate and sustainable finance, and what factors drive the investment decisions of companies.
What role do financial institutions play in supporting sustainable development and responsible investing? What drives the investment decisions of companies and investors and how should they finance their operations? And how do you decide at what price can a company be acquired or sold? You address issues like these in this double degree programme by analyzing and assessing actual, complicated financial issues that businesses and institutions encounter.
In your first year, you will study the MSc Finance from the University of Groningen (UG) and in your second year the MSc Finance from Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM). Yet, whereas the programme in Groningen is more practically oriented with courses such as company valuation, institutional investment management and banking, insurance and risk management, the programme at LUSEM goes deeper into theoretical modelling and applying econometric techniques.
Once you have completed this double degree you will have academic knowledge and expertise in solving complex financial problems and understanding contemporary international literature in finance. You will learn how to apply this academic knowledge when you're analyzing new or unknown financial problems.
