5MASTER THE CHALLENGE OF FINANCE
Master the challenge of finance
Prof. Dr. Udo Steffens
President Frankfurt School Finance & Management
Welcome to the Master of Finance programme
of Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.
The Master of Finance programme is an inter-
nationally recognised study programme that
paves the way for a future career in any part of
the financial industry. It is a full-time programme
that allows students to maintain part-time em-
ployment for three work days during the week.
Financial institutions of all types – banks, insurers,
private equity firms, hedge funds, microfinance,
development banks, etc. – will only achieve
sustained success if their employees are capable
of embracing the complex interdependencies of
the modern world in a responsible and proactive
way. This is what our students learn while they
are here. Over decades, Frankfurt School has built
up an excellent network of finance practitioners
and institutions. Our institution was set up in the
1950’s by leading banks and has always been
closely connected to the finance sector. This
close connection makes an essential contribution
to the delivery of an academically rigorous and
practically relevant programme for our students.
The programme’s faculty are prominent experts
who base their teaching on a blend of theory
and practical elements. During your studies you
will benefit from innovative teaching concepts,
and by working in study groups you will discover
what managerial responsibilities in everyday
work are all about.
It is our graduates who build our success story,
and our alumni keep us posted about their
progress in life and the opportunities they have
had for growth. Our students benefit from all the
advantages of a top business school. They study
in small and international groups and receive
continuous support from our Career Services to
plan their future career.
Our Master of Finance was the only programme
from a German institution to appear in the 2012
and 2013 international Financial Times ranking,
“Masters in Finance Pre-Experience”.
Learn more about a programme that will give
you a deeper insight into finance. Get to know
our students and alumni and let them share their
enthusiasm with you for their fields of activity.

Key facts of the programme
Target group
The programme is right for you if you wish to build a career in finance and if you have the desire and the
commitment to immerse yourself in the challenging world of modern financial analysis and practice. There
are no specific requirements as to the subject of your first degree, though we do expect some exposure
to quantitative analysis at university level.
Fast-track options (10 or 16 months plus thesis)
Different fast-track study options are available if you want to reduce your required stay in Frankfurt. De-
pending on your prior qualification, some or all of the modules in the first semester may be waived. Also,
you may choose our “full-week option”. All fast-track options have to be approved on an individual basis.
The 3-day model (21 months plus thesis)
The Master of Finance follows a unique time model that permits you to work part-time whilst pursuing
your full-time Master’s degree. We call this the “3-day model”. Our students typically attend classes
three days each week, either “Monday, Tuesday and Saturday” or “Thursday, Friday and Saturday”.
This leaves you with three free work days during the week for self-study or part-time employment.
KEY FACTS OF THE PROGRAMME
Financial Times Ranking 2013
The Master of Finance programme is currently ranked by theFinancial Times, the world´s leading provider of business school
rankings, at number 27 in “Masters in Finance Pre-Experience 2013” ranking. Frankfurt School is the
only German business school to be included in the ranking, demonstrating our leading position as a
finance specialist institution.

What qualifications are importantfor Frankfurt School students andfuture careers in the finance sector?
Our students are highly motivated to analyse
complex problem settings and eager to develop
their own solutions to these. The Master of
Finance fits those with a business administrationor economics background as well as students
that have a more technical first degree, such as
in mathematics, sciences or engineering. A clear
focus and sharp analytical skills are essential in
order to pursue a successful career in today’s
turbulent world. During the programme students
specialise according to their personal goals and
interests. Graduates of the Master of Finance
programme are also sought after in many other
industries – firms need to finance themselves,
and regulators and government agencies alsoneed a clear-cut understanding of financial
markets.
What makes Frankfurt School’sMaster of Finance graduates special?
Our graduates hold an internationally recognised
degree from the leading German finance school –
Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.
They are highly respected in Europe and beyond
because they act responsibly and because oftheir first-class analytical skills and cutting-edge
practical and conceptual knowledge. They have
proven that they can manage a world-class
demanding programme. We are proud of them!
Michael H. Grote is Professor of Corporate Finance
at Frankfurt School, Vice President Academic Affairs
and Academic Director for the Master of Finance.
We are facing turbulent times in thefinancial sector. How does Frankfurt
School prepare future financialmanagers for this challenge?
The content of the Master of Finance modules
is being continuously adapted. With the largest
Finance Department in Germany and a highly-
developed corporate network, Frankfurt School
comprehensively addresses both theory and
practice. Feedback from both worlds is constantly
integrated in the programme to prepare students
for the globally changing environment. We haveintroduced a Risk Management concentration in
2013, reflecting the finance industry’s demand
for specialists in this area. You’ll find high-profile
practitioners and experienced specialists in many
classes in the Master of Finance programme
who are using actual case studies based on their
experience. That said, we believe that a sound
analytical basis is a major ingredient of our
students’ readiness for future challenges.

in combination with a part-time
employment, I appreciated the
opportunity to combine my studies
with continued practical experience.

The first days of classes at Frankfurt
School look a bit different – especially
to foreign students finding themselves
awaking to the beautiful German
countryside. In addition to our orientation
week on campus, new students complete
two days of exciting group challenges
and team-building exercises at Frankfurt
School’s Outdoor Campus. This is a great
opportunity to get to know your fellow
students in a fun environment outside
of the classroom, and to also learn what
it means to cooperate and work as part
of a team.
Due to the international backgrounds
of our students, two days of hands-on
lessons about teamwork and commu-
nication are the perfect start for your
studies at Frankfurt School. Instructed
by teambuilding professionals, group

Frankfurt is located in the centre of Germany
and has one of the largest airports in continental
Europe. Frankfurt is a modern and cosmopoli-
tan city but there are also ancient and beautiful
buildings. By train, you can reach Paris in 3 hours
40 minutes, Berlin in about 4 hours and the Alps
in around 5 hours. The city of Frankfurt itself is
an important commerce hub of Europe and the
businesses and people from all over the world
reflect this well. Frankfurt is also rich in culture
which you will be able to experience in its restau-
rants, shops, museums and festivals. The city is
a wonderful mix of old and new. You can see
the skyscraper-filled skyline that gives the city its
nickname “Mainhattan” while enjoying a tradi-
tional “Apfelwein” among medieval buildings.
This dynamic place truly has a lot to offer, and a
great deal for you to experience.
MuseumsStädel
One of the most important German museums. Its
collection spans seven centuries, starting in the
14th century all the way up to contemporary art.
The permanent exhibition contains some of the
most famous Old Masters’ paintings, drawings
and sculptures. staedelmuseum.de
