My name is Rudolf Kurz. I was born and raised in the east of Austria, in a small town an hour away from Vienna. After completing high school, I wanted to live abroad. I fulfilled that goal by completing my undergraduate degree at Marist College, located in upstate New York, USA. After graduation, I was successful in securing a position at a leading rating agency in Manhattan. Almost 6 years later, I decided that my adventure in the USA was great, but it was time to go back to Europe. I moved to Frankfurt in the summer of 2019 and have been working here ever since.<\/p>\n
I had the desire to further my education ever since moving to Frankfurt. However, with a new job in a new city, I decided to hold off initially before making my next move. After researching my options carefully, it was clear to me that Frankfurt School of Finance & Management was a top choice for my Master\u2019s degree, but I still was not quite sure about which direction I wanted to go for the specifics of my programme.<\/p>\n
It may sound like an exaggeration, but when stumbling upon the Master\u2019s in Data Analytics & Management<\/a> (MDAM) I was stunned. It seemed like the programme was tailored exactly for the needs of someone like me. While the convenient block week<\/a> scheduling made it possible for me to attend from a practical standpoint, what really stood out was the state-of-the-art curriculum. Data visualization, machine learning, blockchain\u2026 you name it \u2013 I was amazed that this programme included all these technological and strategic themes that I felt I would need to be successful in the future. At this point, it was a no-brainer for me to apply<\/a> and I am beyond happy to have received my confirmation letter not too long ago.<\/p>\n Coming from a business administration and finance background, I felt like I needed to up my tech skills such as working with data sets as well as improve my coding abilities, to name just two examples. I hope to widen my abilities in the technical area to compliment my business knowledge. Further, I am also quite keen on learning about more strategic concepts such as agile methodologies and digital strategy. I believe that the curriculum ties together extremely well, which enables graduates of this programme to become future-ready, setting them up to excel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My name is Rudolf Kurz.
