Students of the MSc Economics and Finance of Aging are very satisfied with the education and lecturers of their MSc. Students find the program interesting, challenging but not too difficult. They appreciate the interaction with the lecturers, the good support, and they value the internships at partner institutions of Netspar.
‘ During your internship you get a good insight in the practical side of the pension business and you receive good feedback on your progress’ says Siert Jan Vos. He followed an internship at the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) and graduated last November. Most of the graduates were offered a job after their internship.
The MSc Economics and Finance of Aging is based on the research of Netspar, the research network on Pensions and Aging located at Tilburg University, and started in September 2006. During that first year the program was evaluated twice among students. The information was used to improve certain aspects of the program, e.g a Math refresh course has been introduced in the first semester to serve students with deficiencies caused by different backgrounds. Half of the new student populations followed this course.
