Are you open-minded and ready to take on the challenge of studying at a very high academic level?

The Principality of Liechtenstein is a country with an international and cross-border orientation. Due to the fact that Liechtenstein is not only embedded in a customs and monetary union with Switzerland but also is a member of the European Economic Area, Liechtenstein acts as a bridge between the European Union and Switzerland, the biggest Wealth Management market in the world. In this region people cross borders daily, think in several currencies and work with multiple bodies of legislation. Manufacturing companies are focused on exports and on managing their foreign subsidiaries, and the financial services sector takes care of clients worldwide. Liechtenstein is also an attractive location for domestic and foreign investment funds and insurance companies.
This unique situation has made the small Principality into one of the most experienced cross-border regions of the world. This know-how, necessary for understanding and managing highly international and cross-border oriented services, is reflected in our graduate program in Banking and Financial Management.
Besides offering state of the art education in Banking and Finance, this Master’s degree programme focuses on methodological capabilities, and also incorporates current research results and practice oriented projects such as the MasterLAB and case studies into classes. The programme covers part of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) content, thus encouraging students to also take the CFA exams. The curriculum exhibits a focus on International Corporate Finance and Asset and Wealth Management.
Take advantage of the low professor/student ratio of only 1:5, our strong links to the business community, the international team of professors and our study trips to top financial centres. This programme also offers an excellent preparation for a subsequent doctoral degree project. As a state-funded education programme, the tuition fees are very attractive.
You are invited to take advantage of this unique and exciting international and entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for young, dynamic team players with a passion for Banking and Finance. We expect students to deliver high quality of work and to be strongly motivated to participate in and actively shape this challenging programme.
