Msc. in Economics and Business Administration - Finance

The MSc in Economics and Business Administration - Finance (cand.merc.) at Aarhus University is a two-year, 120-ECTS programme taught in English that gives students rigorous, quantitative training in financial theory and its practical application. The structure front-loads methodological prerequisite courses in the first semester, moves into finance specialisation courses in the second, and opens the third semester to electives, exchange, or internships before a master's thesis. It is designed for students with a bachelor's in economics and business administration (or an equivalent quantitative business background covering statistics, finance, accounting, microeconomics, and organisation theory). Graduates typically move into banks, investment companies, pension companies, regulatory bodies, consultancy firms, fintech, and corporate finance departments.
