The course is offered as part of a collaboration between the Faculty of Business and Economics (WWZ) at the University of Basel and the Tilburg University business school, TIAS School for Business and Society.

The programme has been run successfully in the Netherlands for years now. In the Shanghai Ranking and the subject area of finance, the Tilburg School of Economics and Management at the University of Tilburg was ranked 25th worldwide (3rd in Europe) in 2022. In Business Administration, it took the 9th place (3rd in Europe again).

This makes it one of the few European institutions to secure a top global ranking. According to the Financial Times (FT), the Tilburg University Business School is one of the world’s top 50 business schools for executive education and the number one business school in the Netherlands.

The Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Basel laid the foundations at an early stage for research and teaching in innovative areas of finance such as distributed ledger technology (DLT), asset management, real estate finance, financial regulation and financial market micro- structures. In these fields, it isn’t just a major player in Europe – it’s a world leader. At the same time, the Faculty of Business and Economics maintains active and outstanding partnerships with institutions such as the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Swiss National Bank, as well as many banks and insurance companies, thanks to a wide range of research projects. Researchers at the School of Business and Economics and TIAS/Tilburg University are among the world’s top researchers and regularly publish in major journals.

The program benefits from both universities’ peak position and close links to business in the border area where Switzerland, Germany and France meet – a highly attractive and economically successful trinational area. Its proven strengths in research and global networking put the Faculty of Business and Economics in a position to offer an exciting, challenging and high-value part-time master‘s degree for professionals together with its effective and established partner TIAS.

Thanks to the partnership with Tilburg, this finance program from the University of Basel has a significant international component, setting it apart from all other specialist master’s programs in Switzerland and its immediate neighbours.
