ISEG, with strong departments of Mathematics, Economics and Management, and with a policy of internationalisation, benefits from the corresponding synergies, and provides excellent conditions for studying the Masters in Mathematical Finance (MMF). This fact, together with the high quality of its teaching staff, all of whom hold PhDs from prestigious universities, makes MMF unique in Portugal. 

The strong relationship between ISEG and the financial sector, both at a national and an international level, contributes to the international recognition that the Masters in Mathematical Finance adds value to the competitiveness of the financial sector, and to improving the employability of its graduates.  

In accordance with ISEG's mission, the Masters in Mathematical Finance also prepares students for further doctoral studies and for carrying out innovation and scientific research in departments of companies, or at universities or other higher education institutions. 

Values such as freedom of intellectual and scientific expression and respect for ethical principles and social responsibility are all key points of ISEG's mission.

internationalisation is also a part of the MMF's history and aims.The following developments are of importance:

  • The establishment of an international agreement involving three Masters in the area of Mathematical Finance - from ISEG;  Université de  Lorraine, Nancy (France), and  Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Poznaniu (Poland), which allows students to study for part of their degree at these universities;

Pictogramme Financial Management in 2019

At present, the Financial Expert no longer has to carry out control tasks alone, although these remain his responsibility, but his added value as a professional will be determined by his ability to analyze and solve problems, so their actions and competencies must be oriented to a greater involvement in the strategic management of the value of the company. The market demands more flexible financial accountants for two reasons: the responsibility of the Financial Expert within the different areas of the company is expanding and the dynamism of the economy forces them to be increasingly alert from the financial point of view.
