Overview
The double MSc Finance (Sao Paulo and London) will provide you with a unique opportunity to study Economics and Finance in two major financial centers, Sao Paulo and London. The School of Economics and Finance at Queen Mary University and the School of Economics at the Fundação Getulio Vargas have both a very long tradition (50 and 70 years, respectively) of contributing to academic knowledge, theoretical discussions and providing strong vocational programmes. Both schools have adapted to respond to the evolving challenges of the global financial sector and increased their prestige nationally and internationally.
A distinctive feature of this programme is that the first part (from January until December of the first year), the programme will be taught in Sao Paulo at FGV with a key focus on a sturdy foundation in Economics, Mathematics, Statistics and International Finance. During the last part of this first period in Sao Paulo, students will gradually concentrate more on Finance and will attend two modules taught by QMUL in distance learning (Applied Finance and Econometrics) and two further modules jointly developed by both FGV and QMUL especially for this double degree (Corporate Finance and Investments). In January of the second year, you will move to London where you will study two core modules, Valuation and Asset Pricing, and will have the opportunity to select a number of vocational electives taught by finance practitioners, and a wide range of non-graded module to foster your skill and your employability.
The programme offers two pathways, a standard one and a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) pathway.
• Provides students with an expert and in-depth understanding of the workings of financial sector and the economic theory underpinning it..
• Is a fully integrated programme where you will stay connected to both universities throughout the whole 20 month period
