Master Scholarships in Economics Finance 2011-2012, Spain
Spain MA Master Scholarships in Economics Finance 2011-2012
THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MASTER IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE AT CEMFI is a two year full-time program intended to prepare students for a wide range of careers in the public and the private sectors. It also serves as the first two years of the PhD in Economics at CEMFI. This flexibility is very attractive to many students that initially are not sure whether they would like to follow a professional or an academic track. This program is taught in English.
The Master in Economics and Finance at CEMFI is an official degree granted by Universidad International Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) according to the regulations of the Spanish Ministerio de Educación.
The distinctive feature of the program is the combination of an orientation towards applied and policy issues with a strong emphasis on analytical and quantitative approaches to these issues. This requires a solid understanding of the relevant economic, econometric, and computational techniques. The faculty teaching the courses are all active researchers at the frontier of their area of expertise. About 25 students are enrolled each year, which allows for close interaction with CEMFI’s faculty.
Each academic year is divided into three 10-week terms. Courses are concentrated in the first five terms, with three courses per term. Each course comprises three hours of lectures and one and a half hours of problem set classes per week. The sixth term is fully devoted to research work on the Master thesis that students must submit at the end of the program. In addition, a 2-week introductory course of Mathematics is taught in September of the first year.
The first two terms contain the core courses, while in the next three terms a wide range of elective courses are offered. The electives are grouped into four areas of specialization: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Finance. The choice of electives does not have to be concentrated in one of these areas, so students can decide their own degree of specialization.
In the summer between the first and the second year students are offered a Summer internship at a financial institution, a consultancy firm, a public sector department, or collaborating as a research assistant for a project of a faculty member.
In addition, from the second to the fifth term there is a workshop in which students present and discuss applied economics papers and debate papers on economic policy issues. Throughout the year there is a series of invited lectures and several series of research seminars that students regularly attend.
Tuition fees
The tuition fee for the Master in Economics and Finance 2011-2013 is EUR 3,654 per year. This figure may be adjusted by a limited amount, following regulations of the Spanish education authorities.
Exemption from tuition and scholarships
CEMFI may grant students exemptions of the tuition fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to EUR 10,000 per year. Exemptions and scholarships are granted according to academic merit. Some of this support is funded by a set of sponsoring institutions. Applications for funding will not affect the student’s chances of being admitted in any way.
Applicants of the Master are encouraged to apply directly for external scholarships for graduate programs. These scholarships usually have very early application deadlines. Therefore, we highly recommend students to apply well in advance.
Some institutions awarding scholarship to Spanish and EU students are: Banco de España, Fundación la Caixa, Fundación Rafael del Pino, Generalitat de Catalunya, Gobierno Vasco, and the Spanish Ministry of Labour (Reina Sofía Scholarships).
After enrolling in the Master these students can also apply for a scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education.
Non-EU students (including Latin American students) should consult the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affaires website for the MAEC-AECID scholarships.
Scholarships for Latin American students
In previous years, special scholarships have been available for Latin American students of the Master. Candidates who wish to apply for one of them should indicate so in their application form. In case these scholarships are endowed, however, application for them will be carried out directly with the granting institution.
Subsidized loans
The Spanish Ministry of Education subsidizes loans in a set of banking institutions, for which students of any nationality, with residence in Spain, who enrol in graduate studies may apply.

Scholarships PhD Goettingen Germany 2011
PhD Scholarships (Doktorandenstipendium/ DFG-scholarship), University Goettingen Germany
The International Scholarships Research Training Group 1023 Identification in Mathematical Models: Synergy of
Stochastic and Numerical Methods at the University of GÃ ttingen invites applications for
an immediately available 3-year (= 2-year + option for 1-year extension)
PhD Scholarships Position (Doktorandenstipendium/ DFG-scholarship).
The focus of our Biometrics research group (www.stochastik.math.uni-goettingen.de)
at the Institute for Mathematical Stochastics (IMS) is on the development of novel models
and methods for fingerprint recognition. Dissertation projects can interdisciplinary
combine the potentials of stochastics, statistics, numerics and computer science for
providing new solutions to exciting challenges in the coinciding areas of biometrics,
pattern recognition and image processing.
Essential qualifications are a master degree, diploma or a comparable degree in
mathematics, computer science or a related scientific field.
Preferred:
Good skills in written and spoken English
Programming skills (e.g. Java, C++, Matlab, R)
Experience in mathematical or statistical imaging
Background in geometry, pattern recognition or image processing is advantageous. We
expect creativity and independence, the ability to work and communicate within a team of
scientists from different disciplines.
The scholarship of the DFG Research Training Group 1023 are based on the support rate
granted by the DFG and amount to EUR 1365,- per month with a monthly supplement of
EUR 103,-.
The advancement of equality at the IMS goes without saying; in particular, we are striving
to increase the percentage of women in the science sector. Severely disabled persons with
equal qualifications will be considered preferentially within the framework of legal
requirements.
