Applications from graduates in Finance, Economics or Management can also be applied from a candidate's curriculum that shows a strong appetite for mathematics. Although the master's language is Portuguese, classes are taught in English whenever there are foreign students or teachers.
The Master in Financial Mathematics is supported by the Center for Mathematics and Fundamental Applications (CMAF) of the University of Lisbon.
