Master in Economics and Finance @Spain

CEMFI is a 2-year full-time program intended to prepare students for a wide range of careers in the public and the private sectors. It also serves as the first two years of the PhD in Economics at CEMFI. This flexibility is very attractive to many students that initially are not sure whether they would like to follow a professional or an academic track. The program is taught in English.

Procedure: Each academic year is divided into three 10-week terms. Courses are concentrated in the first five terms, with three courses per term. Each course comprises three hours of lectures and one and a half hours of problem set classes per week. The sixth term is fully devoted to research work on the Master thesis that students must submit at the end of the program. In addition, a 2-week introductory course of Mathematics is taught in September of the first year.

Tuition fees: The tuition fee for the Master in Economics and Finance 2011-2013 is EUR 3,654 per year. This figure may be adjusted by a limited amount, following regulations of the Spanish education authorities.

Exemption from tuition and scholarships
CEMFI may grant students exemptions of the tuition fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to EUR 10,000 per year. Applicants of the Master are encouraged to apply directly for external scholarships for graduate programs. These scholarships usually have very early application deadlines. Therefore, we highly recommend students to apply well in advance.

Requirements
Applicants must have finished or be about to finish an undergraduate university degree. Final admission will be subject to having obtained the degree by September 2011. A good knowledge of English is required, since the Master is taught in this language.
Application: Online

Access to the application form
Once filled out, the online application form should be submitted, including files for:

• Official transcript of grades obtained in undergraduate studies.
• Official transcript of grades obtained in graduate studies (if applicable).
• Proof of knowledge of English language.
• GRE scores.
• Any other documents.

Only files in PDF format may be uploaded. Each file should not be larger than 2 Mb.
Note: Applicants admitted to the Master will be asked to provide the corresponding original documents.
English language
Applicants whose native language is not English must provide recent proof of their command of the English language. This can be achieved through the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The preferred way for receiving this information is the direct mailing by ETS. CEMFI's institution code for direct mailing of the TOEFL score report is 7964. Alternative means of proof include the Cambridge Proficiency, Advanced or First Certificates, and the British Council IELTS.
Graduate Record Examination

CEMFI's institution code for direct mailing is 7046.  Note that providing the scores in the application form is not a substitute for attaching an official score report or having it sent directly. Applicants who do not provide their GRE scores will not be considered for early admission.
Reference letters
In addition, two reference letters must be received by CEMFI, written by professors who have followed closely the applicant's studies. Upon submission of the online application, recommenders will receive an email message allowing them to submit their letters online. Applicants will receive confirmation of receipt of their reference letters.
