"The MS in Finance is a great program with devoted staff and professors, who are always willing to help students achieve their best. It is business-oriented and always follows the newest trends to ensure students stay competitive in the market. Moreover, finance at CEU in general is on a whole other level. One thing I would highlight is how incredible the community is. It is very diverse and such a great source of knowledge. Studying in an atmosphere where you can express yourself fully, learning from others and questioning everything you thought you had known and, above all, feeling part of the community, is a great experience overall."

"The MS in Finance provides holistic and intensive learning in finance. The classes are always interactive, stimulating and challenging. Students are equipped with skills and knowledge that provide a major competitive edge in today's job market. CEU is also as much about diversity as it is about academic excellence. Students are from all over the world with very diverse professional backgrounds. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with CEU, which has developed into a lifelong relationship."

"Having spent several years in management consulting and then in the inside strategy organizations of large multinational companies, I wanted to deepen my finance knowledge in certain areas. When selecting CEU it was important to me that I could work and study at the same time. The School follows a pragmatic, Anglo-Saxon approach to teaching. Real-life case studies, presentations from experienced business owners and managers, as well as CEU’s highly reputed professors all focus on transferring practical knowledge to develop future leaders."

"In my work back in Georgia I felt the need for further business-minded education in finance. I wanted to do a masters abroad, but did not want to stray too far or too long away from the professional world. The MS in Finance offered a lot of flexibility, excellent reputation and great value. This American program in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities offers an international environment that is excellent for building professional networks. The curriculum is built to suit students with very diverse professional backgrounds. One of the strongest features of the program is the quality of teaching by CEU’s outstanding professors.”
