Objectives and Candidate Profile

Candidate profile
The master is tailored to fit both the requirements of:

economics graduates who want to develop applied skills in the field of quantitative finance and risk management;
graduates in non-economics quantitative subjects (mathematics, physics, statistics, engineering, computer science etc.), lacking a specific training in economics and finance;
young professionals with limited working experience.
