FSFM Masters in Finance- Working Student, Fees... Thoughts?

Hello Monkeys,

I got my admit for Masters in FSFM for 2021 intake. Some background info- Finished my bachelors in Business from a small German Hochschule. I am not German tho, and can only manage German upto B1 level. I follow along fairly well when someone is talking to me in German. During my bachelors i was involved in a couple company projects and also did a student job at SAP(Content Editor). However, none of the roles were Corp Fin. Due to this very reason, i decided to apply to FSFM since it allows a 3 day study model and hopefully i can pick up some relevant experience. However, i do not understand how a working student could possibly be involved in a front office role given the part time nature of his/her job. Can anyone shed some insight as to how these student jobs are usually structured? And if i can actually develop relevant skills or if it will end up being a administrative or some other corporate role?

Also any thoughts on the humongous fees? I do realise its a very subjective matter but would like to know your thoughts. Is the program worth the fees?
