The
partner institutions that support internships
provide the necessary component of practical learning. In this way we
establish a direct line of collaboration between the academic and
professional worlds, allowing us to develop and teach the latest
techniques in the valuation of financial derivatives, hedging strategies
and the evaluation and risk control.
The institutions that are
participating in the Master of Mathematics in Finance have very good
opinion of the acquired skills at the end of the course.
"Our perception is that this master adds a singular and specific value
that covers, with rigor and professionalism, a space without attention
until now. This master has managed to develop the link between the
academic and banking worlds with particular suitability, generating a
return for all with a particular interest for the future."
Crèdit Andorrà
"We mainly emphasize the
quantitative training and knowledge of the markets that they already
have from the master courses. From our area, linked to the analysis of
financial markets, we evaluate the agility that students have shown to
develop assignments and willingness to address challenges associated
with quantitative aspects."
"The Master in Mathematics
of Finance offers a training of enormous value to us, responding to a
need for professional profiles in areas such as financial risk
management, portfolio management, fund management and investment
valuation financial products."
"The Master students have
been and hope they can continue to be one of the main elements of our
teams specialized in tasks like valuation of financial instruments,
quantification, monitoring and risk management. Combined expertise in
the financial area and mathematical rigor, great analytical skills and
strong motivation, make them very valuable in this area, very dynamic
and demanding, being a safe bet for the entity."
La Caixa and InverCaixa
"The
Financial institutions increasingly need more quantitative profiles to
adapt to the new regulations and to an environment market
rapidly changing and
demanding. The MMIF is a program that is tailored to these needs and we
believe that the internship is a key element to give an overview of the
industry to students."
AXA
"The MMIF students collaborate with our annual
internship capital markets. They usually have a wealth of knowledge and
have good analytical skills."
"We
are very satisfied with the level of the students who come from the
Master, our company always bets for these students due to their
quantitative background."
Catalana Occident
"We are very satisfied with the results. The students have demonstrated that they have extensive and solid knowledge, which fit perfectly into our field of work."
