Business Economics - Corporate Finance Ghent University

Overview

This Business Economics - Corporate Finance MSc programme from Ghent University will provide you with a detailed understanding of financial statements and how to use them for financial decision-making. We will develop your ability to value companies and manage financial risks. The specialisation will dive deeper into advanced corporate finance topics, such as financial modelling, banking, Mergers & Acquisitions, and address more recent developments, including crowdfunding, green finance, and FinTech. The specialization not only covers established companies but also the financing of entrepreneurial ventures; how do professional investors (such as venture capitalists) screen new ventures, how do they value ventures, and how are “term sheets” negotiated? Throughout the courses, you will have numerous opportunities to analyse important case studies in small groups.
