I am currently pursuing the MSc Finance programme at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, which offers an excellent selection of electives which will surely appeal a wide range of interests. Although the campus has a city-campus feel, it offers plenty of open space, modern buildings, well-equipped classrooms and lots of study areas. What I appreciate most is the professors’ strong commitment to helping students reach their full potential, with a particular emphasis on applying academic knowledge and skills to real-world situations.
