"I hold a Bachelor's in Banking and Insurance Systems. Although my passion has always been finance, I have not had the opportunity to work in this field. Hence, I decided to pursue a finance master's to keep me on the right track towards my career goals and to enhance my knowledge in the field. I had done my research and knew that CEU had a reputation for having one of the best finance programs in Europe. I could see that it was full of talented, energetic and success-driven students. It was a no-brainer to choose CEU.

"After finishing my BSc studies in Finance and Accounting I worked as a consultant for multinational firms. Frequently performing long analytical and modelling tasks manually to create an analysis felt quite old-fashioned for nowadays. Thus, I decided to look for an institution in the EU where I could further improve my knowledge on advanced data analytics and automation of processes.

"My background is in international relations, which I chose to study since I have always been interested in the complexity and interconnectedness of governments, international organizations, and NGOs. During my time at the Political Science faculty of Leiden University, I developed a strong passion for entrepreneurship and investing. Therefore, I thought it would be best to pursue a master's degree in finance, entrepreneurship or management. When selecting my program, I certainly had a high standard.

"I came across data analysis and data science during my bachelor's studies as an applied economics student. I found it extremely fascinating and was hoping to find a master's program that would equip me with all the necessary knowledge and skills of this field. Then I discovered the MS in Business Analytics when reading through CEU’s website, and it instantly caught my attention. The curriculum was exactly what I had in mind, and the rankings of the program as well as the university were also very appealing.

"I am a software engineer with a decade of international experience in data engineering and business intelligence. I mostly worked for banking clients, and it was from here that I got curious about understanding the financial data I was working on. My motivation was to get into a FinTech role and could not think of a better place than CEU in this part of Europe. The course modules for the MS in Finance looked very appealing and intense to me, as did the international community of students and faculty that offers a great possibility for sharing of ideas.
