Description

THE MASTER IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE AT CEMFI is a 2-year full-time program intended to prepare students for a wide range of careers in the public and the private sectors. It also serves as the first two years of the PhD in Economics at CEMFI. This flexibility is very attractive to many students that initially are not sure whether they would like to follow a professional or an academic track. The program is taught in English.The distinctive feature of the program is the combination of an orientation towards applied and policy issues with a strong emphasis on analytical and quantitative approaches to these issues. This requires a solid understanding of the relevant economic, econometric, and computational techniques. The faculty teaching the courses are all active researchers at the frontier of their area of expertise. About 25 students are enrolled each year, which allows for close interaction with CEMFI’s faculty.The Master in Economics and Finance at CEMFI is an official degree granted by Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) according to the regulations of the Spanish Ministerio de Educación.Each academic year is divided into three 10-week terms. Courses are concentrated in the first five terms, with three courses per term. Each course comprises three hours of lectures and one and a half hours of problem set classes per week.The first two terms contain the core courses, while in the next three terms a wide range of elective courses are offered. The electives are grouped into four areas of specialization: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Finance. The choice of electives does not have to be concentrated in one of these areas, so students can decide their own degree of specialization.Additionally, in each term there is a workshop in which students present and discuss applied economics papers and debate papers on economic policy issues.In the summer between the first and the second year students are offered a Summer internship at a financial institution, a consultancy firm, a public sector department, or collaborating as a research assistant for a project of a faculty member.The sixth term is fully devoted to research work on the Master thesis that students must submit at the end of the program. In addition, 2-week introductory courses in Mathematics and Statistics are taught in September of the first year.Throughout the year there is a series of invited lectures and several series of research seminars that students regularly attend.

Scholarship

Tuition fees
The tuition fee for the Master in Economics and Finance 2012-2014 is EUR 3,785 per year. This figure may be adjusted by a limited amount, following regulations of the Spanish education authorities.
Exemption from tuition and scholarships

After enrolling in the Master these students can also apply for a scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education.
Non-EU students (including Latin American students) should consult the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affaires website for the MAEC-AECID scholarships.
Scholarships for Latin American students
In preceding years, special scholarships have been available for Latin American students of the Master. In case these scholarships are endowed, an announcement will appear in our website. Applications for these grants would then be carried out directly at the website of the granting institution, not at CEMFI’s.
