Department of Financial Studies, University of Delhi
HOD's Message :: ::
Twenty three years ago, when the Master of Finance and Control programme was launched by the Department of Financial Studies, it was a foray into an uncharted territory in the Indian educational scenario. Based on the lines of MS (Finance) offered internationally, it was one-of-its-kind, a niche course in finance, designed and developed to cater to the needs of the fast growing Indian financial sector.

Over the two decades since its inception, DFS has evolved into an institution that is known for the quality of students and faculty. The rigorous selection process on all-India basis ensures that only the best minds qualify and the class profile is at par with leading national and international B-schools on all parameters. The faculty, staff, students and alumni work together to create an evolving environment that is rooted in market pragmatism.

At DFS, you find a program that offers the satisfaction that comes from a blend of intensive rigorous academic study with the realities of practical world of finance and trade literature, as well as preparation. It prepares for careers that require skills in quantitative and qualitative analysis and communication. The internship program, case studies, simulations and projects allow students to assess their interests, simulate in the real-world contexts and to prepare for future employment. Our alumni are renowned professionals working in diverse functional areas, work cultures and academic disciplines.

Conferences, seminars and workshops are a regular feature at the campus, providing a forum for presenting research work and discussing important issues of national and global interest. These events provide a unique blend of academics and corporate know-how ensuring that the curriculum is both contemporary and relevant to the industry needs.

This has helped our students develop a thorough understanding of emerging economies and the global work place. I heartily welcome you on board and look forward to building a long-term mutually beneficial relationship.
