Financial Times recognition for MSc in Finance
We’re proud to share that our MSc in Finance has moved up in the Financial Times global ranking of finance programmes. Released this week, the latest ranking places our programme at #42 worldwide, among the top 70 programmes globally.
This steady rise reflects the programme’s continued development, strong career outcomes for alumni, and growing international reputation.
Programme Director Jens Forssbaeck notes that while alumni success remains a key driver of our ranking, the competition has become significantly tougher — especially with a wave of private business schools entering the list.

business partners, students, other academic institutions, alumni, external
researchers, and the surrounding community. Our collaboration with external
partners is bridging the gap between academia and the business world.
