About the programme

The Master in International Finance and Economics (MIFE) at TH Nürnberg is a full-time, English-taught M.Sc. of 3 semesters and 90 credits, with entry in the winter or summer semester. It gives you an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of international finance and economics, with compulsory finance and economics modules worth 18 credits each and electives that let you specialise in either field. Classes are small, around 20 to 30 students, and teaching uses case analyses, group discussions, project work and company visits. You can spend a semester at one of more than 80 partner universities, join a double degree or do an internship abroad. It suits above-average business graduates with a finance or economics focus and previous work experience in either field.
