Overview

2007 saw the start at ICEF of the international master’s program created with the academic support from The London School of Economics (LSE). With skills requirements identical to those of the industry, the program brings together the Russian traditions of scholastic education and the British expertise in delivering master’s degree programs.

Extensively supported by practicing experts, we offer comprehensive training in Economics, Finance, and Econometrics that students complete over a short period of time. It allows our alumni - a total of 400+ – to find employment at investment banks, at research institutions globally, and domestically.

The programme is delivered in close cooperation with employers. For instance, a scholarship fund is established by VTB Bank for the best-performing students, specialists from leading companies conduct courses and master classes, job offers are submitted to our Career Centre on a regular basis. The contacts the programme and its professors maintain with the international research community enable our students to engage in research, which they do also via ICEF International Laboratory of Financial Economics.

Other requirements

General requirements

Since instruction is in English, candidates are expected to have advanced English language skills. Candidates should be able to produce IELTS (≥6.0) or equivalent. One more essential requirement is the in-depth knowledge of mathematics. Requirement number three is stay focused on studies. This master’s degree programme is what guarantees solid knowledge and skills, as well as career opportunities, but juggling it with work is highly unrecommended.
