Master Degree in Mathematical Economics and Finance (Bologna)
In recent years, advanced mathematical techniques have become increasingly important in the areas of Economics and Finance. A rigorous mathematical approach to such areas is precisely the main concern of the Master Degree in Mathematical Economics and Finance of UM.
The inter-connections between the three scientific fields are a constant fixed-point theorems in Mathematics led to great advances in Economics; dynamical optimization has fruitful applications in Economics as well as in Finance; numerical and computational methods are extensively used.
Macroeconomics is based on the principle that individuals optimize in an environment characterized by uncertainty.
The Theory of Dynamical Games includes short term and long term models, repeated games with or without moral risk, reputation, evolution and learning models.
The use of Mathematics in Finance is prevalent, especially in the analysis of financial time series and in assets pricing models.
Upon completion of the programme, students will have the expertise to meet the strong demand for qualified economists in the financial sector. Further, they will have acquired a sound grasp of the background needed to pursue PhD studies in Economics or Finance.
Official length: 2 years/4 semesters of full-time study/120 ECTS credits, including two semesters (60 ECTS) for a dissertation.
Access requirements: applicants are expected to have a graduation in Mathematics, Economics, Management, Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or other similar areas; exceptionally, applicants with a relevant curriculum (academic, scientific or professional) may be considered.
Programme requirements: students are required to complete all the unit courses before starting the dissertation.
Location: Campus of Gualtar, Braga.
