Master Degree in Finance at EEG “Being a student of UMinho MF program was a dream-like experience. The curriculum is well designed for people with great passion towards Finance studies either in theoretical or practical pursuit. From Finance 101 to challenging M&A cases, the courses’ crescendo is greatly scheduled and students were not feeling uneasy to follow while enjoying challenging some advanced questions. As an international student, the multi-language studying experience was exhilarating and rewarding. The demographic diversity of students and the generous-to-a-fault professors had me feeling well-accepted. Vast programs and business social events were also amazing. The Business pitch day jointly hosted by UM and Big four was so rewarding that I gained great experience on my interview skills. The database training program and multiple data programming free courses were a great extension of the curriculum, enabling student to implement what they learned from classes seamlessly. All in all, MF program has had my eyes opened and trained me well, tailoring me to today’s job market and fast-changing Financial Industry.” https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshall-wang-b6065115a/

Wang Mohan Shanxi Broad

The Master in Finance provided me with an opportunity to improve myself as a person, and it helped me consolidate my knowledge in key areas. The professors were incredible and always available for all students to provide guidance and to help them with homework or during exam weeks. Additionally, it gave me a solid foundation to pursue the CFA program, and, to this day, I have passed the level I and II successfully. I think, in my honest opinion, that, without the Master in Finance, I would not be able to pursue the CFA program. In matters related to employment and career, the Master in Finance was essential to my first real experience as an intern at the Bank of Portugal. The skills I developed in R, banking regulation, accounting and in research during the Master in Finance were vital to my success during the internship. Now, I am working for Banco Montepio, and the quantitative finance background I acquired is crucial as I have to deal with some difficult quantitative problems.

Miguel Domingues Analyst at Bank Montepio

The Master in Finance at the University of Minho provided me with knowledge in the areas of Finance that prepared me for the needs and demands of the job market. The Master is composed by mandatory curricular units, where I acquired deep knowledge in corporate finance and investments, but also optional curricular units, allowing me to opt for those that were closer to the professional path that I intended to follow. The fact that it is fully taught in English and that it allowed me to develop data analysis and programming skills are also advantages of the Master because these capabilities highly improved my adaptability to the job market.
