Financial Economics

About

The Master of Financial Economics (MFE) program is a full-time, limited-enrolment professional program offered jointly by Canada's top Economics Department and top business school, Rotman School of Management.

MFE is a five-semester (S/F/W/S/F) program: four semesters of coursework across Rotman and the Department of Economics, plus a one semester, full-time mandatory internship at a financial services firm.

In the program's academic-experiential curriculum students take Rotman MBA-level courses (such as Corporate Financing, Options and Futures, Security and Portfolio Analysis) and graduate economics courses (such as Financial Economics, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Financial Econometrics), and get real-world work experience in a paid internship at a top financial institution.

The MFE program provides a broad understanding of financial theory and the economics framework upon which that theory is based. It has an excellent track record of placing its graduates in investment banking, corporate banking, sales and trading, private equity, asset/portfolio management, economic/strategy consulting, hedge funds, risk management and the public sector.

Best suited to the MFE program are those with a strong quantitative background and undergraduate degree in finance, economics, commerce, math or statistics. Entry is highly competitive. Applicants are admitted on a rolling basis and candidates should apply as early as possible.
