University of Groningen and VU Amsterdam join forces in the Executive Master of M&A and Valuation
The part-time executive master's programme for M&A and Valuation professionals will be offered in cooperation by the business schools of the University of Groningen (UG) and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) from now on.
Through this cooperation, this leading executive master's degree programme will benefit from a valuable bundling of expertise from both universities. The University of Groningen Business School has been offering the programme in Amsterdam (Zuidas, financial district) for years already. For the VU Amsterdam the programme fits in well within the wide range of executive study programmes in the field of Finance.
"It is a great move that we can now run this unique programme offered by two strong partners," says programme director Wim Holterman, Professor of Business Valuation at the UG. Co-programme director Herbert Rijken adds: "We share the same passion to put a substantively strong executive programme on the market." Rijken is Professor of Corporate Finance at the VU. The content of the programme and the target group will stay the same, also the training location will remain in the financial district in Amsterdam and the language of instruction is English.
Strong growth of M&A activity
The Executive Master of M&A and Valuation is a unique M&A programme at academic master level covering the entire M&A process - from strategy to integration. The programme matches the educational demands of an increasing number of M&A professionals. The growth of the target group reflects the strong growth of merger and acquisition activities of the past decade.
Graduates of the programme occupy leading positions as corporate M&A directors, CFOs, deal partners at ‘Big-4’ firms, senior investment bankers, private equity partners and senior M&A lawyers. The Executive Master is officially accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO).
