Highly recommendable!

In my bachelor degree I studied business administration with a focus on banking at the cooperative state university in Karlsruhe (Germany) where I was able to gain a first and wide knowledge about the financial industry. However, the IFM program in Nürtingen enables you to dig very deep into the topics and to enrich your know how which will be definitely a benefit for your professional career!

The highlights:
+ International student group with lots of group assignments in the first semester to get to know each other.
+ Software based content. Application of Excel, Bloomberg and Matlab.
+ Professional lecturers with top positions in the financial industry and convincing knowledge.
+ Outstanding communication between professors and students.
+ Activities besides the regular program are offered by the university.
+ If you are willing to work hard good results can be achieved.

The cons:
- In case of going abroad after the second semester there is no support from the international office for master students. So organization belongs to you.
- Nürtingen is a nice but rather small city with limited possibilities regarding private activities.

I can highly recommend the program and I would do it again!
