4 A PASSPORT TO HIGHLY COMPETITIVE JOB MARKETS Ashkan Associate, EQT Stockholm, Sweden What I found unique about the MSc in Finance, Hedge Funds & Private Equity was the excellent combination of quantitative and qualitative studies. Moreover, the small size of the class enabled us to interact with each other and professors on a completely different level. Each lecture brought new perspectives leading to a tremendously steep learning curve. Most importantly, what I believe sets this very demanding program apart from its peers is the practical focus; literally every module involved practical work such as advanced valuation modeling on Excel. The MSc in Finance at IUM is in my view the best possible preparation for a challenging and tough career in the financial services industry. The academic expertise of the permanent professors is complemented by the strong practitioner expertise of IUM adjunct faculty and guest lecturers, all actively engaged professionals who bring into the classroom their real world experience and the industry stateof-the-art standards and practices. Students thus go beyond the theoretical framework and apply it to concrete contextual situations. Students also gain an appreciation of real world company expectations, further developed through internships, applied projects and business competitions. This balanced exposure to theory and practice is one of the central pillars of the educational philosophy that underpins IUM programs.
