Alumna
The program prepares you in the best possible way to enter the job market and this is also helped by the career coaching service, the interesting field visits and the networking possibilities. My job opportunities were much broader after this advanced master. It definitely helped me get a job right away at the European Central Bank.

“
Coming to Solvay, meeting different people and enthusiastic
professors who are looking to help candidates at a personal level
helped me not only improve my finance knowledge but also change my approach, helping me secure a
full time job in investment banking. The reputation and the rigorous
curriculum of the program proved to be a key factor in my interviews as I was able to display my finance
abilities and understanding of current state of matters in the
industry.
