MSc in Economics and Business Administration - Finance is a general university education in finance. It provides students with thorough knowledge of and competence in finance. Upon graduation, our students are expected to begin careers in financial institutions, regulatory bodies, consulting businesses or finance departments in non-financial companies.
The programme has a clearly defined structure with a focus on global finance so the programme is relevant for all international students. The global financial markets are highly developed and integrated and as a consequence of this complexity and sophistication, there is an increasing demand for graduates with degrees in finance at the highest level. Therefore, the programme is perfect for students seeking a career in finance in a global setting.
The ultimate ambition of the programme is to prepare our students for making the right decisions at the right time; this ability requires excellent analytical skills and a talent for embracing all relevant data, as well as cultural issues.
Finance and other advanced research areas are based on statistical and mathematical models. Therefore, it is an advantage for students to be familiar with these areas before the programme begins. The models are integrated into the courses so that the students study the models in relation to their application. It is our experience that the learning outcome is much higher when the models are part of the various courses.
The latest research in finance is integrated into the programme and many of the professors are internationally well-known teachers and researchers. Our programme also uses external lecturers from local financial institutions as well as visiting faculty members from internationally acclaimed universities.

Hvis du har en anden uddannelse med tilsvarende fagligt indhold, vil det i forbindelse med behandlingen af din ansøgning om optagelse blive vurderet, om du opfylder adgangskravene.
Du kan også få din uddannelse forhåndsvurderet ved Optagelse til kandidat og tilvalg mellem 1. september og 31. oktober.

In Corporate Finance the general aim of the course is to provide the participants with profound knowledge about financial decision-making in corporations. It is important to underline that although the course focuses on the managerial problems, decisions must be based on a solid theoretical framework. The topics studied include investment and financing, real options, risk management, capital structure, governance, and asymmetric information.
In Asset Pricing the focus is on theories and empirical methods for analysing asset pricing, fixed income, and equity markets.
In Applied Financial Econometrics, the purpose of the course is to introduce the students to the most widely used quantitative and empirical methods in econometrics. Emphasis is put on relevant financial models and applications. For forecast purposes, models of financial time series and econometrics will obviously be of major relevance.
Securities Markets covers the parts of the financial curriculum that are related to trading in markets for financial instruments. As such it complements the standard courses in asset pricing, corporate finance, and derivatives with issues from the fields of market microstructure and securities trading.
Derivatives
Financial derivatives such as forward, futures, swaps, and options are increasingly important instruments applied by agents of financial markets. The course focuses on describing and understanding these instruments, and on the underlying markets such as money markets, bond markets, stock, currency, and commodity markets.
Empirical Asset Pricing
Empirical Asset Pricing uses statistical and econometric methods to analyse observed prices and returns in financial markets, and to test financial market theories.

The fourth semester is devoted to the final thesis. You may choose the topic of the thesis freely and in this way get a chance to concentrate on and specialise in a specific field of interest. The thesis may be written in collaboration with another student or it may be the result of your individual effort. When the thesis has been submitted, it is defended before the academic supervisor as well as an external examiner.
Som studerende på en universitetsuddannelse skal du regne med at undervisningsformerne er noget anderledes, end hvad du kender fra gymnasiet eller handelsskolen. Som studerende er du i langt højere grad end tidligere ansvarlig for din egen indlæring og uddannelse.
Undervisningsåret er delt ind i to semestre. Der er rusintroduktion i uge 35. Første semester starter i uge 36 (ca. 1. september) til ca. midt december med eksamensperiode fra ca. midt december til 31. januar.

Vores undervisning og undervisningsformer gør vores studerende og vores dimittender attraktive for erhvervslivet.
Ved at løse opgaver i grupper, som typisk består af tre til fire studerende, lærer du at arbejde sammen med dine medstuderende omkring en given opgave.
Læsegrupper har også en funktion uden for eksamensperioderne. Her har du mulighed for sammen med gruppen at diskutere faglige problemer og gennemgå materialet til næste undervisningsgang.
Læsegrupper får på den måde både en social og en faglig funktion.
Til forelæsninger i et auditorium kan der være plads til op mod 300 studerende. Den anden halvdel foregår som holdtimer eller øvelsestimer, ligesom du kender det fra gymnasiet eller handelsskolen. Her er der mulighed for at stille spørgsmål, gennemgå øvelser og diskutere stoffet.
