Stefan van Maanen
The MSc Finance and Management
provided me with in-depth knowledge
of finance and a solid foundation in
the other aspects of management.
The lecturers each have their own
area of expertise and this has given
me the opportunity to discuss financial
and management matters in detail,
increasing my understanding of the
taught materials.
