Hospitals are merging, supermarket chains are swallowing up other chains and media companies are joining forces. If you want to understand the ins and outs of this, you can study corporate finance at VU Amsterdam.
You will explore the interesting playing field of corporate finance, corporate investments, corporate takeovers, mergers, stock markets, big money, and the power and impact of large companies. You will learn about maintaining healthy organisations and about the valuation of shares. You will gain insights into the operation of investment firms and how they identify companies they want to invest in. You will also learn the art of leading, innovating and collaborating within organisations and what that entails from a business perspective. You will learn about business strategy and economic systems, as well as about how companies treat their employees and how they organise purchasing and sales processes internally.
You will also learn how issues such as globalisation and the climate crisis will impact the economy. You will study how Big Data plays a major role in business and also determines the standing of a company in the market. And last but not least, you will learn how the environmental impact of a business is an important metric in determining its value.
In short, studying corporate finance at VU Amsterdam will help you understand and analyse the game that companies play on the stock exchange and in the market. With corporate finance expertise in your pocket, you will be a very valuable asset to many companies.
