Objectives

This year, we will have several “Professional Seminars” with great invited speakers coming from relevant institutions and covering different areas in Finance and also in general interesting topics. It is a fantastic opportunity for the students to benefit from their valuable experience, views and thoughts. Additionally, a few “Academic Seminars” will take place, focusing on complementary areas of interest in Finance. Finally, we will also have a seminar on "soft skills".

Within the series of Professional Seminars the students will have to attend to 5 Finance specific seminars (all available) and to 3 on general topics (choose among the others). Within the Academic Seminars the students will have to attend to 2 (choose among 5). And finally there will be 1 seminar on soft skills.

The list of seminars will be available in the page of the course in Moodle and in a  specific site created for this purpose (that must be referred to for program updates)
