About the programme
A master's in finance interview tests more than interest in markets. The panel assesses your quantitative preparation, grasp of fundamental finance concepts, ability to challenge assumptions, ethical judgement and whether the programme fits a specific learning and career plan.
How to prepare
- Review accounting links, time value of money, risk and return, valuation logic and basic statistics.
- Choose a financial model or quantitative project you can explain from assumptions to limitations.
- Follow a current market development and compare more than one plausible explanation for it.
- Prepare to explain a technical idea in plain language without hiding behind formulas.
- Research the daily work and required skills in the finance role you hope to enter.
Common mistakes
- Memorising definitions without being able to apply them to a simple business situation.
- Presenting a market opinion as certain while ignoring competing evidence.
- Claiming ownership of a model without understanding its assumptions and weaknesses.
- Describing finance only in terms of earnings or status rather than the work itself.
