Masters in Finance recognised by GARP

A GARP is an international organisation dedicated to promoting and advancing best practices in risk management, which positively influences professionals and institutions around the world.

"This prestigious recognition highlights our position as leaders in educating professionals to face the dynamic challenges and complexities of the global financial world," says Raquel Gaspar, coordinator of the Masters in Finance.

This recognition by GARP demonstrates that our Masters in Finance covers at least 70% of the curricula and 100% of the ethics/professional conduct learning objectives required for the Financial Risk Management exams (FRM I and FRM II). More than a simple curriculum check, this recognition by GARP adopts a more holistic approach, attesting to the quality and rigour that our Masters offers to students.

With this partnership implies the offer of six scholarships every year for our students and an additional scholarship for those members of faculty who wish to sit for the FRM Financial Risk Management exams. There will also be one other scholarship (for students or members of faculty) who wish to attain the latest GARP certification in Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR).
