Testimonials
Rossella D'Amico
Strategy Regulatory and Corporate Finance analyst, Deloitte (Luxembourg)
A well-designed course tailored to students interested in the growth of the banking and fund market. The tutorials gave me the tools and skills I needed to work in the consultancy sector, advising key Benelux Private Equity companies on the strategic challenges and operational issues that they currently face.
The way the course is structured and run by the first-rate teaching staff, as well as its international environment, are crucial to the students’ personal development.
I highly recommend it!
