Economics and Finance (Master)

Course description

The Master in Economics and Finance (MEF) is a 9-months graduate program that allows students to complete their training in economics and finance.

The Master is aimed at two groups of students:

- Those planning to pursue a career in research. Our graduates successfully enrolled in Ph.D. programs in economics or finance at Berkeley, MIT, Duke, Princeton, Northwestern, Yale, Boston University, London School of Economics, University College London, Oxford, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Toulouse.

- Those seeking graduate training for a professional career. Within six months from graduation, our graduates found jobs in banks (Unicredit, San Paolo-Banca Intesa, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland), companies (ENEL, Finsiel, IBM, Wind), public-sector or international institutions (Bank of Italy, Italian Treasury, European Commission, Eurostat), financial and rating companies (Pioneer Investments, Pictet, Link Financial, Moody's) and consultancies (KPMG, CRA International, Deloitte Consulting, Ernst & Young).

The Master's courses aim to:

- develop problem-solving skills using state-of-the-art analytical tools;

- improve the ability to work effectively in teams, and develop presentation skills;

- acquire the background to continue graduate studies in economics or finance, with a preparation roughly equivalent to the first year of a doctoral program.

The MEF also offers a Finance Module specifically designed for students planning to pursue a professional career in finance.
