Henrik Mikkelsen, head of private banking for south-east Asia at Commerzbank, was able to make up his mind quickly as to what master’s course he wanted to pursue when it came down to making a choice.“When you’re spending so much money you need to know what you’re doing. Being a European, I wanted to learn about private banking in Asia, so instead of wasting time and doing a typical MBA, which focuses more on general management practices, I decided to go for something more specific.”
The decision prompted him to study for the master’s degree in wealth management (MWM) at Singapore Management University . He is not alone: increasing numbers of professionals are seeking niche masters programmes that fit their specific industry interests.
