This two-year master's programme is designed for those who want to gain a deep understanding of finance and its many applications. While the focus is on corporate finance, the programme also covers macroeconomics, microeconomics, econometrics, validation and financial modelling, asset pricing, venture capital, value-based management, behavioural finance, and more. Graduates of the programme work at leading consulting groups, investment banks, M&A advisory firms, and investment funds in Moscow and in other major international finance capitals. Some pursue careers as strategy consultants, buy-side analysts, and portfolio managers, while others develop their own businesses, conduct academic research, or work as CFOs in real sector companies.
