What we do differently in our Master in Management | Finance is the strong connection between quantitative abilities and strategic application. We do not educate the next generation of analysts for the basements of banks and big corporates. Instead, HHL graduates can critically reflect on the analytic insights they have generated and derive thorough management decisions that also incorporate long-term implications.

HHL’s Master in Management | Finance program offers a very interesting blend of finance, management and entrepreneurship, which has provided me with essential skills to contribute to the derivatives market in my current job.

Maximilian Harr
Investment Banking Analyst | Goldman Sachs
For me, the most important learning I took away from HHL is the approach to solving complex problems. Early in the program, students are given seemingly intractable tasks that require teamwork, analytical rigor and out-of-the-box thinking. Looking back, I am very happy that we were taught these skills, as I can hardly imagine a better training for starting a career as a recent graduate.
Lea Gruber
Associate | Boston Consulting Group (BCG)
My studies at HHL were characterized by a unique and practical approach to learning that seamlessly integrated theory with real-world applications. This approach provided me with a comprehensive toolkit and fostered a well-rounded skill set. The focus on providing a deep understanding of finance further prepared me for the challenges of my career in strategy consulting. In addition, I am grateful for the valuable professional network I was able to build at HHL, as well as the lasting personal connections I made while studying in Leipzig.

Getting my degree at HHL was one of the best decisions I could have made: it prepared me to thrive in any environment, no matter how complex or challenging, and connected me to incredible recruiters, alumni, and life-long friends. The HHL spirit is unique in that you can be more yourself, which helped me walk my own path after graduation and helped me fulfill my dream of a thriving career in the US.
Elton Bursuk
Associate | BC Partners (Ex-Goldman)
With its interdisciplinary and practical approach, HHL equipped me with a holistic toolset which helps me to thrive early in my career. Rationalizing situations with quantitative models, analyzing challenges from various perspectives and deriving business critical solutions is only a minor selection of the skills I refined during my time at HHL. Beyond the skill set, I am fascinated about the high-quality profiles in our HHL network and their openness to step into a dialogue.
Harsimrat Chahal
Consultant | Bain & Company
The master program at HHL prepared me for the job world through its practical approach. Everybody worked on many real-life projects as part of the curriculum. This practical orientation combined with various networking events, continuous career coaching and numerous internship possibilities gave me a chance to visualize what I could and wanted to do after my studies.
Max Dolata
Investment Director | Ardian
Coming to HHL with a background in economics, my M.Sc. studies with a major in finance allowed me to discover my enthusiasm and to deepen my understanding for the field! Having enjoyed these hands-on courses, I was ready to accept a role in the investment banking industry . While working with HSBC and UBS at first, I eventually moved to private equity at Ardian.
Samruddhi Marathe
Strategy Analyst - M&A and Private Equity | Accenture
My journey through the HHL’s Master’s in Management | Finance program was nothing short of transformative. I can now confidently navigate through complex, time-sensitive projects in my current role in strategy consulting in the M&A and private equity practice, thanks to the financial foundations, industry-required skills, and necessary exposure that I gained at HHL. Beyond that, the invaluable international network established through engaging group case studies, coursework, and career events, continues to be a pillar of strength in my career.
Philipp Roggencamp
Senior Manager | Bain & Company
With a background in media management and advertising, shifting to a major in Finance really pushed my understanding of how markets work and opened up a whole new perspective on business to me. Not only this, but the well-chosen balance between theoretical and applied finance prepared me for my start at Bain and continues to enhance my work as a consultant.
Himanshi Bulani
Consultant | IVC (Independent Valuations and Consulting)
The curriculum at HHL seamlessly integrates theoretical concepts with practical applications, featuring insightful sessions from industry professionals who share their expertise. Beyond imparting real-world insights, the program significantly enhanced my networking and professional connections. The indefatigable spirit of my classmates has left an indelible mark on me, and I carry the valuable lessons learned and the enduring connections established during the program with me for a lifetime.
Tobias Buhrke
Investment Manager | Bregal
The finance courses at HHL gave me the profound knowledge and skills needed to join Goldman Sachsafter graduation. Particularly, the hands-on modeling sessions and case studies proved to be useful for my job in investment banking. In the meantime, I have joined family-investor Bregal and the skills acquired at HHL have a lasting impact on my daily work.
Max Sutter
CEO & Founder | Celebrate Apps
Every day I have to make lots of minor and major decisions about my company’s future and value to be created HHL’s finance courses provided me with the right perspective and mind-set when it comes to make long-term decisions under uncertainty and when to decide between different investment alternatives. Great finance is not only about correct calculations, it’s a way of thinking. Indeed, that’s what I learned at HHL
Sönke Mehrtens
Senior Project Manager | Horváth
The hands-on finance casework was an excellent preparation for my career in management consulting by enhancing my problem-solving skills and finance expertise. Working in the financial industry competence center at Horváth & Partners, I particularly benefit from finance-related hard skills learned at HHL , such as financial analysis and modelling.
Johannes Nass
Founder & Managing Director | NativeResearch
Having negotiated multiple early stage equity rounds of a young company after my Bachelors degree, I quickly noticed that an earlier exposure to HHL’s finance courses would have increased deal quality massively. The acquired knowledge paired with the opportunity to engage with complex stochastic modelling within my master thesis and numerous connections with renowned companies was the ideal enabler for my career. I started off by joining the Boston Consulting Group and finally got back to managing a new venture.

Program Schedule
Program Introduction
Master in Management | Finance
with Dr. Maximilian Schreiter
A glimpse of our guest lecturers from practice
Hanns-Christian Ehret - Course: Capital Market Theory & Investments
Head Business Development, GWM EMEA | Executive Director, UBS
Sustainable investments are booming, reaching over USD 35tn globally in 2020 (according to GSIA Trends Report 2020). Environmental, social and governance criteria are the three areas of focus that have become the determinants for evaluating an investment’s sustainability. Addressing this ground-breaking investing shift in a joint lecture with Prof. Lahmann and the distinguished group of HHL students has been both tremendously exciting and insightful.
Dr. Arnd Lodowicks - Course: Entrepreneurial Finance
CFO | Rocket Internet
Managing venture capital is between art and science. To navigate the huge uncertainty surrounding fast-growing ventures a combination of entrepreneurial instinct and analytical toolset is required. I enjoy being a guest lecturer in Entrepreneurial Finance so much because the course addresses exactly that mix by discussing thorough but pragmatic solutions to financial planning, valuation, or deal structuring in VC-backed ventures.
Sasha D'Lima - Course: Risk Management of Corporations
Data Science Specialist | BMW Group
No company can do business risk-free, therefore at BMW we strive to manage our risk with a blend of expert opinions and quantitative models. Our approach rests upon strong scientific insights from stochastic theory, behavioral finance, and macroeconomics but does not stop there. We turn models to real-life for making better management decisions. That explains why I love so much coming back to HHL’s finance track as a guest lecturer in Risk Management: Because the program follows exactly the same philosophy!
Dr. Michael Kramer - Course: Entrepreneurial Finance
Partner | Deal Advisory at KPMG Germany
Apply creative methods, understand new business models, and develop a good feeling for the management team – venture is far more than financials – but they are an important basis! HHL students get well-educated on that special mix of quantitative expertise and management skills. Thus, discussions with them and with Dr. Maximilian Schreiter in the course of Entrepreneurial Finance are always refreshing.
Tomas Smetana - Course: Entrepreneurial Finance
CFO | greenAir (Ex-N26)
“Don’t get greedy” is a very important motto for life anyway. When it comes to financing start-ups, however, it has an additional meaning: you should only raise as much money from investors as you need, not as much as you can get. Together with the students, I draw the fine line between these two states during my business planning session in the Entrepreneurial Finance course. .

In vogue: Living and learning in Leipzig!
Leipzig is open, international and vibrant. Located at the crossroads of historic European trade routes, Leipzig prides itself on its 1,000-year tradition of commercial vitality and its reputation as a meeting place for science and the arts. Beyond its modern infrastructure, what makes Germany’s fastest-growing city so popular and dynamic is its rapidly expanding economy, housing world-famous brands such as Porsche, BMW, DHL and Amazon. HHL, the first “Handelshochschule” in German-speaking Europe, was established back in 1898 and therefore laid the foundation for Leipzig’s profound management education early on. Parks, cafés, bars, clubs and lakes invite you to enjoy a welcome break from your studies. Plus, Berlin and all that it has to offer is just one hour away. And the best of it all? Living expenses in Leipzig are affordable for students!
