Master of Arts in Finance and German University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus, UK

Finance and German at Aberdeen brings the strong competitive advantage of a major European language and culture to your powerful understanding of the principles of finance and wider business skills. You will be an extremely sought-after graduate across the industry, public and other sectors, with opportunities expected to grow further with growing internationalisation and innovations in the financial world.

In Finance, you will explore financial management, corporate and personal finance, financial institutions, derivatives and the stock market. You will analyse and evaluate financial problems and gain the practical skills to understand and use information from financial newspapers and documents.

Your knowledge will grow in the dynamic, international environment of our Business School of over 40 nationalities, inspired by staff who are leaders in business practice and theory, in small classes with real-life scenarios, the input of employers and the support of dedicated careers advisers.

You will also benefit from professional training facilities, such as our Bloomberg finance lab, used by major financial services companies across the world and integrating real activity in financial markets directly into students’ courses.

German at Aberdeen has an outstanding reputation with the highest possible rating of ‘Excellent’ in the last national Teaching Quality Assessment. You will gain a broad understanding of Germany’s complex history and culture in today’s German-speaking countries and enjoy many opportunities to practise your developing language skills informally including our German Society and Drama Group.

As an integral part of your 4-year programme, you will spend half of year three developing your language skills as a teaching assistant or visiting student in a German-speaking country.

You will have many advantages to offer employers operating in multinational companies in Europe, and also the European Commission, in addition to other international organisations.
