Letter from the Director Dear Prospective Student, The recent developments in the financial sector have highlighted the need for highly qualified professionals in banking and finance trained to confront successfully the challenges of this rapidly evolving sector in areas such as financial risk management, pricing of complex financial contracts, management and regulation of financial institutions and portfolio management.
The Master Program in Finance is a response to these demands. Our main goal is to endow young professionals in finance with the analytical tools required to develop a successful career in the financial industry. The courses have been carefully designed to provide a rigorous approach to banking and finance, with a strong emphasis on the use of quantitative methods and a consistent analysis of financial problems.
The program combines a sound knowledge of probability, stochastic calculus, and theoretical and applied finance with the study of a broad range of specific topics that are central to banking, corporate finance and capital markets. Mastering these techniques will equip students with the analytical tools and skills that are increasingly demanded by the financial industry.
The program's faculty, drawn mainly from the Department of Economics and Business at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, is a group of outstanding international researchers, who are in a perfect position to make available to students the latest advances in their fields of expertise. The Barcelona Graduate School of Economics is an innovative institution that offers world-class graduate programs taught by leading international scholars and practitioners, in one of the most vibrant cities in Europe. We welcome well-prepared and highly motivated students who can contribute to the school’s dynamic learning environment. If you have the commitment, the ability and the enthusiasm to excel in graduate studies, then please get in touch. Prof. Javier Gil-Bazo
