MBA Center has guided candidates into Master in Finance programmes at London Business School, HEC Paris, ESSEC, IE Business School and MIT Sloan. We help you weigh programme rankings against your target career, prepare a strong GMAT score and build the application finance recruiters expect to see.
A Master in Finance is a specialised degree built for careers in investment banking, asset management, corporate finance and related fields. Most MIFs run for around a year, and unlike a Master in Management, several top MIFs admit candidates with some relevant work experience alongside recent graduates. Because recruiters in finance pay close attention to programme rankings, your choice of school carries more weight here than in most other master's degrees.

MIF vs MiM: which should you choose? · Deferred MBA or MIM/MIF?
A Master in Finance is a specialised master's degree focused on corporate finance, investment banking, asset management and related careers. Most MIFs are one year, and many are aimed at candidates with little to moderate work experience rather than recent graduates only.
More than for most other master's degrees. Investment banks and asset managers recruit heavily by school ranking for finance roles, so we help you weigh this specifically when building your school list.
Competitive MIF programmes at schools such as LBS and HEC Paris typically expect a GMAT score around 700 or higher, since finance recruiters pay close attention to it.
Not always, but it varies by school and track. Some MIFs admit recent graduates directly; others expect a year or more of relevant internship or work experience. We help you match your profile to the right programme.
