MEF 21st edition

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to send you the new poster for the Master in Economics and Finance (MEF) offered by the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Naples Federico II. We would be grateful if you could make this information visible in your department, and bring it to the attention of your best undergraduate students.

The MEF program aims at training students for a career as economists in academic institutions or in research departments of corporations, public organizations, financial institutions and the government. The program is a 9 month intensive course and it is entirely taught in English. It has an established track record, having already been offered for 20 years. Graduates from previous editions have been very successful in professional or academic careers.

The Master's courses provide an integrated training in finance, microeconomics, macroeconomics  and econometrics. Courses are taught by faculty with proven track-record in graduate teaching and research, recruited from Italian and non-Italian universities. The target number of participants is 20, and it is deliberately low to allow instructors to devote individual care to students. Tuition fees are 3.000 euro per year. The cost of student living in Naples is between 600 and 700 Euro per month. Fellowships up to 6.000 euro are available for the best students who apply for financial support.

Applications can be submitted until June 29^th for non EU students and July 28^th for EU students but early applications are encouraged. The first round of admissions will be effected in early April.

Information and application material are available at http://www.mef.unina.it and any further question may be addressed to mef@unina.it

As coordinators of the Master program, we thank you in advance for bringing this program to the attention of suitable applicants from your school.

Yours sincerely
