In particular, I chose the MSc in Finance because of my academic background, already focused on finance.

Why did you choose SSE and your specific program?
I studied economics in the Netherlands, and I was very satisfied with my program. The reason was that it focused on critical thinking, and besides learning the basics, the greatest skill that I learned is how to approach economics problems. I wanted something with a similar mindset but more competitive and the Stockholm School of Economics was the perfect fit. Also, I had a friend who studied here and gave me very positive feedback regarding the university. 
The reason I chose the master in finance was an insight from a British professor that I had during my exchange semester in Beijing. He explained the importance of thinking differently in order to succeed in the stock market. How the current price is the reflection of the interpretation of all available data by investors, and only by differing from that interpretation you can succeed. This, together with my interest with Big Data, made the finance program a great choice for me
