Schiller's Master of Science in Global Finance develops specialists in international finance capable of operating in capital markets, investment banking, asset management, and cross-border corporate finance. The 12-month program integrates company valuation, financial derivatives, international finance, fintech, and risk management, with applied focus on real cases from European and American markets.

Studying global finance abroad in English across Madrid, Paris, Heidelberg, or Tampa places you in four financial centers with distinct profiles: Madrid as Iberian and Latin American hub, Paris as European financial capital, Heidelberg with access to the German market and Frankfurt, and Tampa as gateway to Wall Street and American capital markets. You will learn to analyze investment opportunities across distinct regulatory and risk contexts.

The U.S.-accredited degree and global finance specialization position graduates for roles in investment banking, asset management, multinational corporate finance, financial consulting, and fintech. Schiller emphasizes financial modeling, international financial statement analysis, and financial English competency.

With 2026 tuition of €16,560 at European campuses and $19,620 in Tampa, intakes in February, June, and September, and scholarships up to 50% in Heidelberg, this English-taught global finance master's combines quantitative rigor with the study-abroad experience.

Student experience

Living in Madrid

Madrid hosts Complutense, Carlos III, IE-linked routes and many private colleges along Metro lines. Rent in central districts is high; students often share piso rooms in Lavapiés, Moncloa corridors or suburbs linked by Cercanías.

Non-EU students usually need admission, proof of funds, health insurance and a study stay authorization before travel. Spanish and English programs coexist — confirm language of instruction and homologación of prior degrees.
