ADVANCED COURSES
PROGRAM STRUTURE
The program starts with the Foundations of Finance Courses
(March – December), which cover all the content of the CFA®
Level I examination. This is a key module, as it adequately
standardizes knowledge and prepares students for the more
advanced courses that follow.
Courses vary in the way they are assessed, with early courses
emphasizing examinations. Advanced courses also feature
examinations, but focus more on individual and group projects,
incorporating a hands-on approach with real-life examples
and live data problems.

10. PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
In addition to the Foundations and Advanced Courses, throughout the year the program
is enriched by a series of specialized seminars in state of-the-art topics in Finance,
offered by leading industry experts such as:
Along with solid technical competences, companies currently expect
their employees to combine a set of soft skills that are the basis
of a good professional performance.
This is why issues such as Conflict Management, Communication and Negotiation and Leadership, contribute
to enhance performance.
Hence, the program includes a full weekend module focused on strengthening these soft skills at Fundação
Eugénio de Almeida in Évora, allowing students the opportunity to improve their personal skills in topics ranging
from Persuasive Business Communication to Optimizing Teamwork.
This set of skills can improve the effectiveness of decision making, public communication and teamwork
and this is rightfully appreciated by the students given their excellent feedback on this module.

11. PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
The international focus of the MIF at CATÓLICA-LISBON is also reflected in a visit to world’s
main financial centres – London, São Paulo, New York - where participants attend advanced
workshops led by local experts. Visits are scheduled to institutions such as:
INTERNATIONAL STUDY TOURS
part 1 part 2
This optional but essential part of the program allows participants to interact with professionals
from renowned financial institutions, and to observe firsthand the latest trends and technologies
during three calendar days.
Specific details on the program depend on the possible destination and will be subject to minimum
participation. Past trips to London were highly praised by previous MIF participants. Currently,
visits to London, São Paulo and New York are being considered and will be suggested
to the current and future participants.
“The international tour to London was
a very rewarding experience.”
“In this fascinating city we had the opportunity to meet with some
finance professionals and to feel the pulse of some key financial
institutions, as well as to learn about hedge funds with one of the
most motivating and controversial teachers I have ever met. This
is a unique opportunity to interact with top finance professionals
and familiarize oneself with the latest from the finance industry.
Certainly, it’s hard work, but I truly believe it’s worth. By the end of
the program I felt much more confident in my career.
Another reason I chose the MIF was the help it could provide
in preparing for the CFA®
exam, which is a reputed program
within the financial industry. Overall, the MIF is a truly challenging
program that I would recommend to anyone who wants
to improve their knowledge in Finance and has the passion
to embrace it.”
