Specialization in Finance focuses on consolidating the student’s knowledge of the theoretical framework and analytical methods required for successful financial decision-making, under conditions of uncertainty prevailing in the complex, competitive and globalized business environment. Students with this specialization will develop the skills to undertake financial activities (in relation to capital markets, investment decisions and risk management) in a wide range of organizations, including banks, insurance companies, brokerage firms, portfolio management agencies, industrial firms, commercial firms and government agencies (such as the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance). Students will also acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to continue their studies at the postgraduate level (Master, PhD), or earn professional certifications such as the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst).
Our students, who have graduated with a degree in Finance, have been admitted to graduate programs at very prominent universities, for example, the University of London School of Economics, Manchester, Warwick, University College London and Southampton, as well as doctoral programs in the United States. Our graduates have also been awarded scholarships from the CFA society to pursue their professional qualifications.
