Covid-19
ISEG Lisbon is taking all measures with the health and safety of our community as a top priority. Since March we're operating 100% online, engaging virtually and using online tools for learning and evaluation.

The Masters in Monetary and Financial Economics (MEMF) is an international-level program that follows the best European practices in the area. As such, the selection criteria of applicants are demanding and this exigency level is kept along the course. Thus, the MEMF is not compatible with a weak background and with a low-effort profile, as we expect students to be prepared to spend a minimum of 3200 effort hours in 2 years.

The effort required by MEMF students is strongly valued in the labor market. Employers especially recognize MEMF graduates with a strong background in econometrics and quantitative methods, competence in macroeconomics and monetary economics, and a large capacity to face new challenges.

Exigency, competence, and rigor. These have been the leading principles of the MEMF for more than two decades and so they will be.

The aims of the Master (MSc) in Monetary and Financial Economics are:

  1. Providing advanced knowledge in the monetary and financial fields, based upon the most relevant results achieved by the scientific community,
  2. Initiating its students in scientific research, by practicing the appropriate techniques and methodologies, and
  3. Preparing the senior staff in monetary and financial institutions linked to financing the economy and the monetary policy issues. This MSc gives direct access to the doctoral program in Economics at ISEG.
