General information

This MSc in Finance and Investments is demanding and requires a proactive attitude; it will provide you with the latest in-depth knowledge and insights, plus the right skills and mindset essential for a successful career as a finance professional. The programme will prepare you for a position in, for example, a financial institution, a corporation, a consultancy, your own start-up, a government project, or an NGO. You will learn from world-class academics specialising in finance, and from leading practitioners.

RSM is one of only a few business schools in the Benelux that is partnered with the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute® (CFA). Thus, you can earn your master’s degree and prepare for the CFA® Level I exam within one academic year – another step on your way to becoming a financial analyst, portfolio/risk manager, or consultant.

And because RSM is also an Academic Partner of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association (CAIA), your curriculum can be part of your preparation for CAIA exams as you learn strategies and practice for alternative investments that can be applied to hedge funds, real estate, or private equity.   

Highlights

  • The programme will enable you to master the theoretical foundations of finance and investments as well as practical applications.
  • From September to December, there’s a fixed core of modules in corporate finance, valuation, investments, financial modelling, and ethics, taught by some of Europe’s most respected academics in the field. From January to June, you can customise your choice of electives as well as your master thesis topic to match your career ambitions.  On graduation, you will receive RSM’s MSc degree in Finance and Investments.
  • An important way in which the MSc in Finance and Investments at RSM stands out is the extraordinarily wide range of electives – including courses that are tuned into the latest developments in practice, such as sustainable finance, fintech, and financial analytics.
  • For the most talented and motivated students in the MSc programme, the Finance and Investments Honours Programme offers a challenging extracurricular course in finance research and practice.

Is it right for me?

If you’re   talented and motivated, and recently graduated with a bachelor degree in business, economics, finance or accounting – and keen to develop yourself into a finance professional – then this master programme is for you.

The 2021-2022 tuition fee for the MSc programmes is approximately €18,700 per year. The Dutch government contributes towards this cost for students who hold nationality from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA). These students, therefore, pay only the statutory fee of €2,168 per year. Please note that tuition fees are subject to change.

For EEA nationals who have already completed a master in the Netherlands (and obtained the diploma) the tuition fee for a 2nd master is €12,300.

The MSc International Management - CEMS (18 months) is a longer programme, therefore the tuition fee will have to be paid for the duration of the programme.
