The Master in Finance provided me with the opportunity to refresh and update my technical skills while allowing me to network with other Finance professionals. The program is, without any doubt, a test to our managing skills, mainly time management and organization of priorities and technical skills as one must deal with various topics in a short time frame. In fact, it's so fast paced that only by the end do you fully realize how much it helped push your career into the next stage.

The MIF has been designed to overcome the shortage of leading Financial Masters in the local market. It comprises some unique features, such as CFA® recognition, and is the only Portuguese Master to be recognized as a CFA® Program Partner. Within this matchless combination I found the CFA® experience to be a plus. The faculty encompasses teachers with strong academic skills and in-depth know-how of Finance and business. This distinctiveness provides a new and fresh look over Finance and prepares us to cope with the new challenges which lie ahead. Besides the MIF's classes and Seminars, it is also worth mentioning the Soft Skills experiences, where, for a couple of days, the group has the opportunity to bond more intensively and develop other much needed skills.

My decision to enroll on the Master in Finance was motivated by the soaring reputation of the school and the high quality of the program, the best in Portugal in the Finance field. Overall, the MIF is an extremely demanding but rewarding experience, from which I have benefited both professionally and personally. It provides deep theoretical understanding as well as applied knowledge in the main areas of finance. The articulation with the CFA® institute is a plus. I am absolutely sure that I will be a much better professional and a more informed decision maker. I would definitely recommend this program.

Working for a multinational company, listed on the stock market, I felt that MIF was the right program for me, because it covers both corporate finance and financial market subjects, allowing me to expand the range of possibilities within the financial area. The Master in Finance has highly specialized professors, always available to share their knowledge and professional experience. The program has a substantial proportion of practical work, through group projects, that contributes significantly to the full understanding of the theoretical subjects. Also, it gives us an important set of soft skills and allows us to work with colleagues from different backgrounds. Overall, MIF was an outstanding experience and definitely the right choice.

The MIF Program is a very demanding and thorough curriculum that provides in-depth coverage of all the key topics in the field of finance, setting the standard for cutting-edge knowledge and delivering a robust educational preparation for those engaging in the business of financial services.

The curriculum allowed me to put the knowledge acquired with my professional experience into perspective and made me feel more confident about my technical skills.  Without question, it has added valuable experience for me.

The theoretical soundness of the program is complemented by a very practical applicability, embodied by the provision of real life examples, case studies and problem solving, both individually and in groups.

The Directors and faculty have exhibited a remarkable intellectual humility at all times, showing great dedication and commitment in transmitting their knowledge and placing it to the service of the students. In addition, they provided the students with all the tools, the time and space required for learning.

The staff was tireless in creating a friendly learning environment, by promoting trust and collaboration, allowing participants to fully leverage knowledge, information sharing, cooperation and mutual help amongst all.

The results were the building of a strong team spirit that encouraged my creativity and pleasure in learning, fostered my resilience and led me to self-overcoming.
