'The key motivator for me to apply to the programme was that I wanted to learn more about the general dynamics of the financial sector, while gaining first-hand experience in matters such as financial reporting and corporate finance.'
'The programme turned out the be everything I had hoped for. With my background in psychology, it was fascinating to reflect on what we learned through the lens of my original discipline. Besides the academic side of things, the social element of the programme made it an even more enjoyable and motivating experience. The programme has top-notch lecturers who are very approachable and keen to help you further your career. After I graduated, I continued my research at Leiden Law School and joined an arbitration committee dealing with financial disputes. For me, the programme proved to be of a great value and I highly recommend that prospective students apply!'
A number of the programme’s lecturers either have previously or are currently actively involved in the legal or business arena, and practising professionals are invited to teach as guest lecturers. It gives you the opportunity to interact with them and learn about their work and the latest developments in the field. The programme enables you to do a voluntary internship.
Your professional network will be one of your greatest assets throughout your career. Interactions with professionals in the classroom, extra-curricular FINSTAS activities and the study trip will all help you build your own international network. These contacts could greatly enhance your career prospects, helping with job leads and recommendations.
