Master's in Finance (MSc)

Application Requirements

Applicants for this programme must have completed a Bachelor's degree (or an equivalent thereof) in mathematics or in another quantitative and mathematically-oriented discipline from a recognised university. Applicants with a degree in physics, engineering or computer science are usually eligible. A degree in economics can be sufficient, provided that you have successfully taken a significant number of courses in mathematics and statistics. A degree in business, commerce or accounting is usually not sufficient for admission because typical programmes in these fields do not contain the amount of training in mathematics and statistics that is required for the MSc Finance. The courses in financial mathematics and mathematics are on the level of mathematics programmes. Applicants should thus have a genuine interest in mathematics. If you are in doubt as to whether you meet the requirements, you can send us an e-mail with your transcript of records for a preliminary check.

Language Requirements

A good knowledge of the English language is required. This can be documented through a TOEFL score of at least 72 for the Internet-based test; instead of the TOEFL, you can also present an IELTS with a score of 5.5 or better. No test certificate is required from applicants who have completed a Bachelor's degree programme taught in English or who are native speakers.
