Tiago Loureiro Masters in Economics Student

The programme is organized in such a way that students have the opportunity to study various fields of Economics. Being mainly a theoretical degree, it is challenging and requires effort and hard work. For me it is also important the excellence and professionalism that the professors have been demonstrating day after day, with the objective of developing students with the necessary skills for the job market and/or future academic endeavors. As I am now finishing my master’s, I have no doubt that it will be valuable throughout my professional career.
