Capstone Module Abroad (MiF)

Course Content

The Capstone Module is a compulsory and vital part of WHU’s Master in Finance. Students consider the Capstone Module as one of the most critical stages of their time at WHU since they tend to get in touch with potential future employers and grow their network. The Capstone Module aims to facilitate an intense and enriching international experience with prominent companies in the finance industry. The objective is two-fold: (1) interacting and connecting with alumni and other practitioners operating in the finance industry and (2) applying financial theories and concepts learned in the Master programmes to the real world.

Intended Learning Outcomes and Competencies

Students will have broad data science and management knowledge: Knowledge of the main functional dimensions of the management context within which they may work, and of current research in at least one of these areas.
