CEMFI Master in Economics and Finance scholarships

THE MASTER IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE AT CEMFI is a 2-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. The program is taught in English.

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.

The Master in Economics and Finance at CEMFI is an official degree granted by Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) according to the regulations of the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia.

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.

Applicants of the Master are also encouraged to apply directly, well in advance, for other scholarships for graduate programs. Some institutions which award this type of support to Spanish and some also to non-Spanish students are: Banco de España, Fundación Caixa Galicia, Fundación ICO, Fundación Rafael del Pino, Generalitat de Catalunya, Gobierno Vasco, and the Spanish Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y Cooperación.

After enrolling in the Master you can also apply for a scholarship from the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia.

Scholarships for Latin American students
The Fundación Carolina, in cooperation with the Fundación BBVA, has endowed four scholarships for Latin American students of the Master. The scholarships amount to 1,200 euros per month for housing and subsistence, over 19 months, plus 2 additional months for those students who participate in a Summer internship program. The scholarships cover the cost of a roundtrip turist class ticket from the student's country of residence and medical insurance (excluding prescriptions). They also cover the Master's tuition.

Travel and relocation grants
Applicants residing in Non-European Union countries may apply for a grant to cover travel and relocation expenses, for an amount up to 1,000 euros per academic year.

deadlines for applications is 6th April 2009 (documents must reach CEMFI by 6 April 2009)

WREAC scholarships are available within the White Rose East Asia Centre for a PhD or combination of MA+PhD (1+3 or 2+3) or MA starting each year in September.

• Regionalisation and Globalisation

For further information on the WREAC research please visit the research page.

Further guidance on the level of funding available and the eligibility requirements for applicants can be found in ESRC's 'Guidance Notes for Applicants'.
