Master’s Degree in Economics and Finance

The Master degree (Laurea Magistrale, LM-16) in Economics & Finance (E&F) of the University of Milan aims at offering an exclusive and high-quality study programme. This internationally-oriented master degree is intended to provide students with both an excellent academic training and operational skills, as well as with a promising outlook for a future career in today’s challenging financial markets and the global economy.

Due to the growing complexity of today’s economics and finance, expertise only in economics or, conversely, in quantitative methods are not enough to face everyday challenges.

The Master degree in Economics & Finance is organized to provide knowledge on both the economic dynamics and the behaviour and history of financial markets, to build sound foundations of quantitative and numerical methods and to give insights of decision making under uncertainty and the fundamentals of risk analysis. Indeed, recent and repeated financial crises have proven that mathematical thinking and economic theories cannot be considered separately from historical analyses and regulatory mechanism.

A well-balanced study track builds strong quantitative skills coupled with a sound knowledge of advanced economics and finance, as well as of the underlying theory of decision making under uncertainty and risk analysis. Students will also learn how to apply such tools and models to the solution of complex financial problems and the understanding of the functioning of international markets.
