“At university, I was hardly able to imagine how much influence the MBF programme would have on my future. The knowledge gained in lectures such as Derivative Instruments, Corporate Finance, Pension Finance and Financial Services Management affects essential parts of my daily business nowadays. I got convinced that the conceptual content of the lessons taught at the HSG is absolutely in step with actual practice. I am glad that I was able to enjoy such an effective education.”
