Descripción del programa
The increasing complexity of financial markets demands greater modeling techniques and a deeper understanding of financial data. The Finance Program of the Master's in Economics and Finance at the Barcelona GSE is designed to prepare you for these challenges.
An interdisciplinary approach combining Finance and Economics
The Barcelona GSE Finance Program builds on the School's outstanding faculty in Finance, Economics, Econometrics and Data Science. The program is aimed at students that seek an interdisciplinary approach that combines Finance and Economics. It is designed to give students the strong modeling techniques, econometric tools, and advanced coding skills needed for the top jobs in banking, consulting and fintech.
The Finance Program is built around three pillars:
- Concepts: acquire an in-depth understanding of the theory of Finance and Economics
- Modeling: learn how to construct and implement financial models
- Data analysis: apply Econometrics, Statistics and Data Science techniques to analyze complex financial data
94% career placement success within six months of graduation
Our graduates excel at designing and implementing complex financial and economics models; they have a strong understanding of the theory; and can apply their programming skills (R, Matlab, Stata and (optional) Python) to the analysis of large datasets.
Thanks to their ability to analyze and model data intensive problems, and to communicate results effectively, our graduates are in high demand from a wide range of industries, including consulting, banking, risk management and derivatives trading, portfolio and investment management, fintech, and central banks.
Most of our Finance students have a background in Economics or in a quantitative subject. Proof will be required showing an undergraduate degree with a substantial number of quantitative subjects, or GRE to demonstrate quantitative ability (however, the GRE is not mandatory for this program).
Program schedule
A key advantage of our Master in Finance is that students can benefit from Barcelona GSE top faculty teaching in a wide range of courses in their field of expertise. In particular, students with an interest in quantitative techniques can take electives in advanced econometric methods, optimization techniques, advanced programming, and machine learning, while students who are interested in economics topics can choose among the advanced economics courses in macroeconomics, monetary policy and exchange rates.
Master's degree awarded
Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a Master's Degree in Economics and Finance awarded jointly with Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF).
All Barcelona GSE Master's degrees have been recognized by the Catalan and Spanish Education authorities within the framework of the Bologna Process (in Spanish, “Master Universitario o Master Oficial”).
