Шаблон:Infobox university The Duisenberg School of Finance (DSF) was an educational organization in the Netherlands. It offered Master's level education in finance between 2008 and 2015. The school was launched as a collaborative initiative between the Dutch financial sector in conjunction with local and international academic institutions. Amongst others, the founders of the initiative were Nout Wellink and Minister of the Economic Affairs, Maria van der Hoeven. The name was chosen by the founders to honor Wim Duisenberg, the first President of the European Central Bank.[1] 

In its first academic year, the school enrolled approximately one hundred students. The school had an administrative staff of eighteen faculty members supported by a number of partnering institutions, including the Dutch Central Bank, ING and APG. The university and its campus were located in the Symphony offices in the Amsterdam financial district of Zuidas. The board of directors and the executive fellowship at DSF featured executive board directors from some of the largest financial institutions in Netherlands.

In 2015, the Dutch Center for Higher Education Information (Dutch: Centrum Hoger Onderwijs Informatie) ranked the LLM Finance and Law programme as the highest ranking professional program in the Netherlands.[2]

As of fall 2015, the program of Duisenberg School of Finance was integrated into the educational offerings of the Vrije Universiteit and University of Amsterdam. The program was renamed the Duisenberg Honors Program at VU and UVA.[3]

The school offers a Masters of Science in four major tracks, amongst them the LLM program in Finance.[4] The program is designed as an expedited and intensive training in finance and law, taught by an international faculty. Masters courses are designed for MS in Risk Management, Financial Markets & Regulation, Corporate Finance & Banking, and Masters in Finance LLM track.

DSF was founded as a collaborative effort of academic researchers, financial companies, legal firms and governmental organizations on September 7, 2008. The launch followed an agreement, signed by various leading Dutch financial service providers to finance the school operations. The executive management and associated fellowship of DSF were composed of representatives from businesses, government, academia, and legal firms.

Academic profile

Courses were typically taught by visiting faculty members. Academics from the University of Amsterdam (UvA), Vrije Universiteit (VU) often collaborated on various research projects with financial practitioners. On occasion, lectures were taught by executive management of partnering financial institutions.[5]

In addition, DSF Policy Briefs were designed together with regulators, professionals from the industry and policymakers. Articles and research papers that met the school research criteria were published in the public domain.[6] Students and faculty authored and published research papers aimed at critically reassessing the contemporary regulatory environment and efficiency of the financial sector. Moreover, the Tinbergen Institute cooperated with DSF to work on collaborative research projects.[7]
