Institute of Finance

The Institute of Finance is one of the leading academic centres in the field of finance in the Central European region. For decades, we have been teaching our students investment analysis, risk management, business valuation, financial mathematics and macrofinance. Our programmes are aligned with the exam requirements of the leading international professional bodies (CFA – Chartered Financial Analyst; EFFAS – European Federation of Financial Analysts’ Societies) and we work closely with companies in the financial sector in Budapest (e.g. MNB, Erste Bank, OTP Bank, BSE, KELER, Aegon, Morgan-Stanley, MSCI, BlackRock, Citi, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PWC, Diageo).  

 Our aim is to provide the financial market professionals, who have a high level of theoretical and practical knowledge, and who are able to work at companies, banks, public authorities and as consultants. Above this, who are able to solve problems independently, creatively, and can carry out valuable research. We are proud that a high proportion of the best students in each year choose our programs. These programs have produced and continue to produce a significant proportion of the workforce in the Hungarian banking and finance sector.  

 The Institute of Finance is focusing on the five main areas in teaching: 

 1. corporate finance and valuation 

2. investment analysis and financial markets 

3. risk management 

4. financial mathematics 

5. macro-finance (e.g. fiscal and monetary policy) 

The Institute of Finance is managing the Finance and Accounting Bachelor program, the Finance Master program, the Quantitative Finance specialization of the Insurance and Financial Mathematics Master program, which is a joint program together with ELTE-TTK, and the Financial Mathematics specialisation of the Economics and Financial Mathematical  Analysis program. Detailed information about the programs, and thier curriculum can be found under the “For Students” section.
