2 min read

This Master study program is designed for professionals seeking advanced expertise in financial crime prevention, regulatory compliance, and anti-money laundering (AML) frameworks. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms of financial crimes, including money laundering, fraud, corruption, and illicit financial flows, while equipping participants with the tools to detect, analyze, and mitigate such risks within financial institutions and global markets. The program also explores international regulations, compliance standards, and the role of financial intelligence in safeguarding economic systems.

This is a 100% research-based program, enabling participants to critically examine financial crime typologies, legal frameworks, and enforcement strategies while developing evidence-based solutions. The study level is equivalent to ISCED Level 7 and EQF Level 7. The International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) is a global framework used to classify education levels across countries, while the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) defines learning outcomes based on knowledge, skills, and competencies. Level 7 represents advanced, specialized knowledge and strategic analytical capabilities typically associated with master-level education.

The program is structured into five modules: two research-focused modules that strengthen analytical and investigative competencies, two general modules that provide essential management and regulatory knowledge, and one specialized module dedicated to financial crimes and money laundering. These are complemented by thesis and research activities, allowing participants to apply theoretical frameworks to real-world compliance and risk scenarios.

The duration of the program is a minimum of 12 months, with flexibility for participants to extend their study period based on professional and personal commitments. The program carries 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), aligning it with the second cycle of higher education in Europe.
