This master's program focuses on construction and real estate management, blending technical, economic, and legal perspectives. Students study core topics such as construction project management, civil engineering systems, real estate valuation, and pricing. The program includes practical elements like specialized internships and study projects. Elective courses allow for specialization in areas such as land use management, marketing in civil construction, real estate development, and circular economy in construction. Students complete the program with a final examination and a master's thesis.

To be admitted to this master's program, applicants need a degree or comparable qualification in fields such as management and administration, finance, banking, insurance, accounting, law, architecture, urban planning, construction, or civil engineering. Alternatively, a degree in social sciences focused on economics, management, or law, or a degree in civil engineering is also accepted.

This master's program focuses on international finance, combining theoretical learning with practical application through case studies and seminar-style teaching. In the first semester, students study international corporate finance, econometrics, financial economics, and corporate financial theory and policy. The second semester allows for specialization by selecting two out of three courses: financial risk management, international asset portfolio management, or current issues in finance and technology, along with international accounting and one elective. The final semester includes a research seminar, the master’s thesis, and an oral examination, preparing students for careers in global financial environments.

This master's program is intended for applicants with a degree in Business Studies from an accredited university and at least 210 ECTS credits; those with 180 credits must complete 30 additional ECTS, for example through a placement in the third semester. Candidates must also provide proof of a six-month internship related to financial topics, which can be completed during the program if not already done. Required academic background includes undergraduate courses in Capital Market Finance, Corporate Finance, and Statistics. Excellent English proficiency is necessary, demonstrated by TOEFL (minimum 83), IELTS (minimum 6.0), or waived with a valid GMAT score. Applicants must submit a motivation letter and a curriculum vitae in English. Prior work experience or a GMAT score above 600 can enhance the application.

This master's program trains students in advanced techniques of actuarial science and financial engineering, combining mathematics, statistics, and risk analysis with a strong focus on regulation and financial markets. The core courses include subjects such as life insurance mathematics, financial engineering, risk modeling, and stochastic methods. Students choose one specialization track—Actuarial Engineering, Data Science Methods, Risk Engineering, Financial Engineering, or Interdisciplinary—which tailors their learning to areas like pensions, health insurance, quantitative risk management, or computational finance. The program also covers regulatory frameworks, including European financial regulation, and offers elective courses related to internship, research, and short-term mobility. It concludes with a master's thesis focused on actuarial and financial engineering.

The second year is dedicated to a research-based dissertation or a practical project, preceded by finance project seminars.

This master's program in finance requires applicants to hold a bachelor's degree with a minimum final grade of 12 out of 20.
