Master in Finance

The Master in Finance is an international specialized pre-experience programme, totally taught in English, with contents that are recognized by the CFA Institute. It offers specialized training in the area of Finance, with a particular focus on both Corporate Finance and Financial Markets and embracing a professional perspective of these fields carefully coupled with scientific rigor. It is a full- time programme with a flexible structure, where the core subjects in Finance can be complemented by a relevant and diversified set of elective courses, allowing the students to build the programme according to their own personal interests and career aims. The programme further provides an adequate balance between theory and practice, integrating theoretical knowledge with the development of practical and personal skills. This Master also offers a multicultural experience, attracting not just students from different countries worldwide but also offering a set of different international experiences in two different formats. First, students may complete part of the programme abroad, in a partner university, either under ordinary mobility, or, following a selection process, within the QTEM (Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management) network of partner schools that is present across all major continents, in this last case for up to two semesters. Additionally, students may also apply for the Dual Degree with Kozminski University (KU) in Warsaw, Poland, or for the Dual Degree with Prague University of Economics and Business, Czech Republic (agreement in the final phase of negotiation that is expected to start in 2022), allowing them to obtain two diplomas.
