International Master's in Finance

The International Master's in Finance includes a compulsory internationalization requirement that can be completed through one of the following options: an international internship, an exchange semester (during an additional semester), a Double Degree program or the CEMS MIM.

Applications for an exchange semester are done twice a year: September and February, for an exchange on the following semester.

Students are required to rank their choice of partner schools (12 maximum) and provide a specific set of documents when applying.

A ranking of applicants is built following a specific formula to be communicated to the eligible students. The allocation considers the student’s position and slot availability.

Applications for the Double Degree take place at the same time, and in the same form, as the application for the International Master’s in Finance. Candidates should list their first and second preference of Double Degree Program  and present a motivation letter justifying why they have selected these two options.

If accepted in the International Master’s in Finance, and the pre-screening for the Double Degree is positive, candidates will be called for an interview (online) for one of the two options listed in their application.

Even if candidates are not accepted in one of the two Double Degree options, they can still keep their place in the International Master’s in Finance, completing the internationalization requirement with one of the other available alternatives (international internship or exchange semester).

The CEMS MIM at Nova SBE is a two-year Master's program at the forefront of the Nova SBE Master’s offer.

In year 1, students follow the International Master’s in Finance curriculum. In year 2, the CEMS MIM combines transversal topics, courses, seminars, and projects developed in a synchronized way by the 33 business schools of the Alliance. CEMS Year 2 students’ study one semester at Nova SBE and one semester in one of the other 33 CEMS business schools.

Candidates interested in combining the International Master’s in Finance with the CEMS MIM should apply for both programs at the same time, in the same application form. Even if candidates are not accepted in the CEMS MIM, they can still keep their place in the International Master’s in Finance, completing the International Master’s in Finance internationalization requirement with one of the other available alternatives (international internship or exchange semester).
