Global Master in FinanceA blended program that allows professionals to redefine their global vision of finance

Participate in a microfinance project based in Ghana and experience the powerful impact of social entrepreneurship. This enriching opportunity will help build your professional profile while displaying your passion to improve the world around you. The Microfinance Technical Assistance Project is part of the Development Cooperation Program. Since 2011, IE Business School has been collaborating with Financiers without Borders to make this meaningful project a reality.

Join teams from other Master in Finance programs to provide technical assistance to Ghanaian FNGOs. With your help, these socially driven entrepreneurs can find success within the country’s financial system by securing their position in the microfinance sector and attracting investment at the local, national and international levels.

Immersed in one of the world’s top financial centers, you will have the opportunity to visit leading companies and take a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. As part of the network-expanding experience, you will meet major financial players, such as analysts, portfolio managers, directors of research, traders and strategists.

The optional trip to the heart of London’s financial district gives students the chance to discover how internationally renowned financial companies are run. This will be done through visits to institutional investment management organizations, brokerage firms, professional financial advisory companies and firms in other areas. In addition, students will further increase their investment knowledge and expand their international network by meeting one-on-one with eight to ten industry professionals, including analysts, portfolio managers, directors of research, and strategists.

During this exchange trip, students have the opportunity to visit some of these institutions for a closer look at German and European banking supervision – as well as its implications for other financial institutions.
