Overview
The MRes in Business and Finance is oriented to students with curious mindsets interested in understanding the business world from a rigorous and multidisciplinary perspective. It combines core courses that convey the foundations of analytical skills and specialized courses that expose students to the state-of-the-art research in their area of interest.
These two-years of coursework are considered as the first part of the Doctoral program for the students who wish to continue into the PhD. After the two years of thorough coursework (MRes), students spend three years of thesis writing (PhD) under the guidance of an expert supervisor.
The Master is offered by the Business Administration Department at UC3M, known by its long-standing commitment to quality instruction and rigorous training. The Department is accredited by the prestigious AACSB.
