The MSc in Finance and Risk Management (CLM FiRM) offers students an advanced high-quality education in finance, quantitative risk management, actuarial science, banking and financial accounting.

The course integrates economic theory for finance with quantitative methods—including probability theory, statistics, numerical analysis, and computational techniques—to assess and manage risk in financial, economic, and insurance applications.

The MSc mix theory and practice, academic lectures and interaction with finance and insurance practitioners and empirical sessions.

In the first year, with the common track, you will acquire an in-depth grounding with core courses from corporate finance,  financial markets and institutions, financial accounting, quantitative and computational finance, quantitative risk management, financial and computational economics and econometrics of financial markets. You will get relevant coding skills (MATLAB, Python) since the first year.

In the second year, you can deepen your knowledge and  tailor the degree to your goals both by taking one of the three offered tracks – corporate finance and banking, insurance and risk management, quantitative and AI methods for finance - and by moving forward one of the four Double Degrees opportunities.  

With the DD Msc Finance and Accounting with School of Economics in Varsaw you will deepen your knowledge in corporate finance and financial accountability, while the DD in  Quantitative Asset and Risk Management at the University of Economics in Katowice will provide you an in-depth knowledge of asset management and risk management. A perfect choice to build an international path in Economics and Finance, is the DD in Economics with the specialization International Financial Economics at the University of Konstanz, with this new excellent opportunity for your international career.
