Frankfurt School of Finance and Management: experiences?

[Lorenzo]

Hello everybody,

has any of you attendend this school to get the M.Sc in Quantitative Finance? I'm looking for a Master over this subject, part time and in Germany (I cannot afford to quit my job) and it seems really the only option I can have in this country.

I thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Lorenzo

Hi. I'm also looking at applying to Frankfurt School of Finance and Management next year. Is it a reputed program? The school did get a 27th rank in FT Master in Finance:

But I wanted to know more about the M.Sc. in Quantitative Finance, specifically. Also, what are the job prospects in Germany? I've heard Frankfurt, alongside London, is the top financial hub in Europe
