The programme aims to provide stu­dents with advanced analytical skills suita­ble to support the financial operations of firms and financial institutions in general. The curriculum is especially designed to match the requirements faced by companies operating in international markets, taking into account the need for continuous renewal and the constant development of the business environment. To gain valuable career insights, the courses incorporate practical examples and guest speakers working in finance as well as study visits to relevant organisations. All courses in the programme are given in English. Due to the fact that JIBS has an exchange programme including about 180 partner universities, and that the pro­gramme is open to students from around the world, the courses have a diverse international participation of students. This international atmosphere contribu­tes to a broad perspective of the issues discussed in class. This programme is supported by faculty with substantial experience of dealing with financial markets and strong research records in methods required for financial analysis.
