Testimonials
“The Master in Economics at FEP was the obvious choice for me not only because of the recognized excellence of the Faculty, but also because the Master allows each student to personalize his/her pathway according to the areas of personal interest. Additionally, as a student of the ME, I applied to the QTEM programme, which was definitely a plus due to its international exposure. Overall, my academic journey as a Master student at FEP integrated in the QTEM gave me a broader understanding of Economics while also preparing me to face future professional challenges, since throughout these two years I could explore different subjects under various perspectives while also acquiring important quantitative tools, which are key in today’s world.”
“The Master in Economics (ME) is a program that has two points that for me were very important: the flexibility in choosing the plan of studies and the recognized quality of the contents taught. The first point is important because it allows the choice of a path that is adjusted to an entry in a more specialized environment, in business or academia, according to the given personal objectives. The second point guarantees the quality of training regardless of choice. In my case, contact with specialized curricular units in the area of economics motivated me to pursue my studies and enroll in the PhD in Economics. In addition, the demanding environment I experienced and the quality of knowledge acquired in the ME facilitated the adaptation to an academic degree of greater difficulty.”
“I chose the Master’s in Economics at FEP mostly because of the opportunity to build my own path. I did not regret, as I managed to significantly improve my knowledge on those fields. The professionalism and excellence of the professors was equally important during my journey, to develop the necessary theoretical and practical skills for the job market or for future academic challenges. Having enrolled in the PhD in Economics immediately after completing the Master, I realized the importance and the quality of both mandatory and optional courses. I am truly honored to have been a student of the Master´s in Economics at FEP and I recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating science.”
