MASTER IN FINANCE Careers REPORT 2014 Although our Master in Finance students graduated during challenging economic times, they managed to secure positions in the finance industry on a global level, as reflected in this 2014 Careers Report. This is the result of our students being well equipped with the necessary skills and know-how to successfully carry out finance roles with maximum effectiveness, efficiency and professionalism, as well as the ability to apply finance functions to create corporate and social value. The Master in Finance s unique program characteristics, such as a design that limits time away from the workplace while providing a well rounded approach to the financial world, and a focus on niche areas such as Islamic Finance or Microfinance, have resulted in more than 93% of our students finding employment within 3 months of graduation. Out of this percentage, a substantial number of students accepted jobs in Financial Services (72%), Consulting (19%) and other industries (9%). These excellent figures are achieved as we go beyond academic excellence to include global networking, appealing final exam options and the use of an eminently practical approach, combined with an innovative learning methodology. With regards to regions, the Master in Finance graduates are based mostly in Europe (81%), with the rest being distributed between Asia (11%), the Middle East (2%) and North America (6%). 1.
