What Kathery says about the Master's in Finance

Kathery from Mexico

"After working in wealth management at Citi Bank, I wanted to specialise further in finance. I chose Lund because the Master's in Finance programme is highly ranked by the Financial Times. The programme covers topics like econometric models, valuation, financial/credit risks, fixed income and derivatives. What I like the most is that the programme includes corporate finance and financial market topics. Personally, I have learned to think critically, to solve problems and to understand different finance related perspectives. The class is so diverse that I will have a network all over the world, in banking, corporate finance and consulting firms. I have also participated in different extracurricular activities, which has made my experience in Lund even more exciting

Most of the courses are based on lectures and computer labs where you use real financial data to practise what you learned in the class. Teamwork is crucial; however, it also requires individual preparation. The professors are committed, and the communication between faculty and students is very casual and friendly. Although my main interest is in financial portfolio management, the programme has given me the tools to start my career in a number of financial areas, and a Master's degree in Finance from Lund University is well recognised among future employers."
