Testimonies

“My entire academic path was completed at IPL, first with the degree in Accounting and Finance, and then with the Master in Corporate Finance. The relevance of the syllabus, together with the rigorous transmission of theoretical and practical knowledge by a faculty inserted in the labor market related to the area of reference, proved to be decisive factors both for my academic and professional success. For those who wish to add academic value to their training, I would recommend, without hesitation, enrolling in the Master in Corporate Finance.“
Loïc Roda

“The decision to pursue a Master’s degree came with the completion of the degree, when I realized that the best complement would be the Master in Corporate Finance. The MFE has contributed in a significant way to my personal and academic development, broadening my horizon and thus creating new professional opportunities. The course contents are transmitted in an efficient and demanding way to the point of providing students with excellent experiences in the research field and beyond. The team that makes up the course demonstrates total willingness to collaborate in whatever is needed for the progress of its students. Finally, of all the academic decisions I had to make, taking the MSc in Corporate Finance was one of the best.“
Alexsander Barros

“After finishing my degree in Management, in 2009, my goal was to pursue a career in finance. This objective I achieved very quickly. At a professional level, the& training obtained in ESTG allowed me to apply knowledge in several areas, including accounting, treasury and logistics. In 2014 I felt the need to consolidate this knowledge, and the Master in Corporate Finance, in the same institution was an obvious choice. Factors such as the sharing of experiences, availability and good relationships were fundamental for my personal and professional development.“
