Target participants: Graduates with a Master degree (or equivalent) or exceptional candidates with a Bachelor degree having a finance, economics and/or science background (mathematics, physics, engineering). Practitioners with a corresponding academic qualification, who feel that they need additional and more specialized training in financial economics and in quantitative methods for finance are welcome.
Language: The program is taught in English so that international as well as Swiss participants can attend.
Duration: One academic year of courses followed by the completion of a Master Thesis, thus a total duration of about 14 months. The program starts in September /October at the beginning of every academic year (in October 2002 for the first time), and the courses end in July of the following year. It is expected that the four-month Master Thesis will be written and approved no later than the end of the following December. In general, the MAS Finance program requires full-time studying. In exceptional cases, the Admission Committee can authorize part-time employed participants to undertake the course program over a two-year period; the Master Thesis has to be written full-time.
Tuition fee: The program is substantialy supported by the University of Zurich and by the ETH Zurich.
Therefore the tuition fee could be kept (and remained unchanged for the whole period 2002 till 2008)
on the level of 5'000 CHF for the entire program plus
a matriculation fee of arround 50 CHF per semester at
the University of Zurich); check the

The tuition fee can be paid in two half rates, the second one not later than February 28 of the next calender year.
This rule applies also for part-time students.
