Financial Analysis

What’s it all about?

The Financial Analysis specialisation offers a broad approach in finance, economics, quantitative economics and accounting. You will have access to the varied knowledge and expertise of the staff of these four departments at Maastricht University. As a graduate, you'll be highly sought after in the job market, and the international character of the programme adds even more to your clear competitive advantage.

The Financial Analysis specialisation prepares you for further qualification as a Chartered Financial Analyst. You will be well qualified for postgraduate programmes in financial analysis offered by professional associations in Europe and North America, such as the CFA (US/International) and RBA (Netherlands) programmes. However, the track is also suitable for anyone looking to gain international experience in making investment decisions and solving financial problems.

• interpret financial market information and use it to advise the investment public
• develop an understanding of how financial markets work
• translate the value of debt and equity into financial market prices
• develop quantitative investment strategies
• assess how economic events affect financial markets
