A Colombian graduate working in Germany

Valentina Saavedra

I started my Masters at Frankfurt School in September 2016 after finishing my bachelor in my home country Colombia, for me it was a clear choice to study abroad at a renowned international university recognized for its educational curriculum.

Boost your Master in Applied Data Science Application
Eleanor Stephen
The data revolution is already well underway and employers have a lack of skilled data science professionals with the business knowledge to match. We’re ready to teach you in a hands-on programme all you need to know in terms of the life cycle of a business understanding data, big data, data science ethics, machine learning and much more!
At 5:10, or earlier if I am too eager to wait for the alarm clock to sound, my day begins. In the one and a half hour commute that takes me to Frankfurt, I review the contents of the previous quantitative fundamentals lecture and sharpen my coding skills by solving exercises from the Algorithm and Data Structure Class. At around 7:20 I see the first rays of sun reflected in the glass of the Frankfurt Skyline, welcoming me to a demanding but equally rewarding journey.

Grigory Vilkov
In addition to the new core module Data Analytics and Machine Learning starting this year Frankfurt School of Finance & Management has incorporated the tool DataCamp in the Master of Finance to prepare students for a career in a disruptive working environment.
“I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid I have to fire you.” I don't think I understood at the time what would happen to my career and my projects. I got to a whole comfort zone where I had a good job, rented a nice house, car and plenty of free time every weekend, but somehow I stopped trying, I stopped developing and I was hiding from new challenges.

My Summer Internship at the White House

Leah Laukien

After being selected for the Summer 2019 White House Internship Program, a competitive feat, I knew this rigorous program would challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone. I was confident that my time in the Frankfurt School Master in Management program had done much to prepare me for what was about to come.

From US to Germany: My experience as an international student in Frankfurt
Leah Laukien
I will be the first to admit, that Frankfurt doesn’t come up on a top 10 list of where one should vacation in Europe. Much of Frankfurt’s beautiful architecture was destroyed in the war, which allowed for rebuilding with modern architecture and large commercial properties. It’s a financial hub, being the home of the European Central Bank and the European headquarters for some of the world’s largest banks. Not only does it provide a great job market post-graduation, however it’s filled with remarkable restaurants, trendy shops, and noteworthy museums; which makes for some of my favorite things about living here.
On the 20th and the 21st of September 2019, over a span of 25 hours, a young cohort of individuals came together to solve a task that had been a problem for the ECB for some time: how to automatically classify products into categories so that inflation rates can be monitored and forecasted?

Master Your Management Application
Erika Beltrán Araico
“What Bachelor’s degree do I need to have?” “What learning approaches are taken?” “How will the 3-day study model benefit me?”  These are all common questions that we, as recruiters for the Master in Management,
Nach meinem Bachelor in Wirtschaftswissenschaften wollte ich unbedingt direkt ins Berufsleben einsteigen. Meine ersten Berufserfahrungen habe ich bei einer Wirtschafsprüfungsgesellschaft in Frankfurt im Bereich Finance gesammelt.

The call of management… can you hear it?

Tobias Hertel

When I was asked to write a blog post about my decision to switch from a bachelor’s degree in communications and media management to a master’s study of management at the Frankfurt School I thought: “Well, that’s a no-brainer! What else should I have done?” But as I reflected on my decision I realized that there were a lot of other things I could have done.

From Physics to Finance

Dimitrios Diplaris

Before coming to Frankfurt, and obviously since I’ve been here, I’ve been asked the question “But why do you want to switch from Physics to Finance?” The answer seems obvious to me because I was always fascinated by the financial world. Models everywhere to price products, implied rationality and realized over-reaction and herd behavior. Financial markets tend to emulate people’s behavior from one extreme to the other, and how could they not since people are the ones making all the decisions, at least until now.

My Internship at BASF Management Consulting
Oliver Yang
As Master of Finance student with chemical background and experience, I have always wanted to work in consulting with a focus on chemical industry. For those who are also interested in pursuing a career in consulting, prestigious consultancies such as McKinsey, BCG, and Bain should not sound unfamiliar to you.
After updating my CV and scheduling a meeting with the Career service team, I carefully wrote down the questions that were of interest to me and that I could not find answers to on my own. Frankfurt School does an exceptional job in counseling students on their respective job opportunities.
