International Master in Economics and Finance

IMEF - INTERNATIONAL MASTER IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE
12th programme
Department of Economics - Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia
September 2008 – July 2009

OBJECTIVES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MASTER:

The objective is to train students to acquire a deeper and more sophisticated knowledge of economic and financial tools, thus preparing specialists in the fields of the analysis of financial markets, risk measurement and management, banking and corporate finance.

The International Master in Economics and Finance is a truly unique programme. No other school in Italy can offer a faculty of such high-standard international ranking. Courses are in English to encourage interaction between international students, as well as with the international teaching staff. The Master’s programme is a limited entry course. The maximum number of places available is 20.

The links with financial markets and institutions facilitate contacts with many prospective industry employers and guide individuals through the choice of their career path and job application process. Almost all our students find a job immediately after the end of the Master in leading financial institutions or in research centres.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Applicants have to satisfy one of the following requirements:

• hold a specialist degree (laurea specialistica) in accordance with the new Italian university system;
• hold a four-year degree in accordance with the previous Italian university system;
• (for foreign students) hold an equivalent university qualification. For admission, the Academic Board determines the educational equivalence of the foreign graduation.
• applicants are allowed to enrol for the Master before obtaining their degree. However, they must acquire their degree within the academic year previous to the one in which the Master falls in. (e.g.: Master edition 2008-09, degree obtained within the academic year 2007-08).

At the end of the courses, each student is offered an internship period which usually leads to a subsequent placement. For the internship/placement assignment, IMEF is facilitated by privileged channels with national and international firms, banks and financial institutions, in Italy and in other European countries.
