Ambition moves fast—and so does this programme. If you have the drive and the focus, you can complete the MSc in as little as 12 months, fully online. The curriculum is streamlined and outcomes-focused, enabling you to apply new learning immediately in your professional context while maintaining your momentum in São Paulo’s bustling economy.

Every module is intentionally designed to deliver impact: concise, relevant content; practical assignments; and assessment formats that sharpen real-world thinking. It’s an approach that lets your career progress in parallel with your degree—rather than waiting on it.

No Fixed Times: Study Without Scheduled Live Attendance

Your life, your schedule. The programme does not require online presence at specific times and dates. This asynchronous model empowers you to engage with lectures, readings, and assignments whenever you are most focused—whether it’s early morning before the city wakes or late evening after a full day at the office.

Discussion forums, collaborative tasks, and faculty feedback are available when you are. You’ll still connect meaningfully with tutors and peers from around the world—without sacrificing your rhythm in São Paulo.

Learn Anywhere—Even Offline—with Our Mobile App

Study from home, from a café on Faria Lima, at the airport, or on a weekend escape. You can learn from anywhere in the world, even while on the move, through our mobile app. Download the study material and watch the lectures offline—so your progress continues even when your signal doesn’t.

This freedom makes consistency achievable. A commute becomes a micro-classroom. A flight becomes an opportunity to finish a case study. Your phone or tablet becomes your portable campus, keeping your learning on track wherever your day takes you.

Open-Book Assessments that Mirror Real Practice

Professionals rarely face closed-book scenarios. That’s why this programme uses open-book assessments (often called open books assessments) instead of classical question/answer exams. You’ll be evaluated on your ability to synthesize information, apply theory, and defend decisions—just like you would on the job.

This approach rewards preparation, judgment, and clarity of thought. It builds confidence for those moments that matter most: when you must interpret data, construct arguments, and present insights that stand up to scrutiny.

Guided by Faculty from World-Renowned Universities

Learn from faculty who have graduated from leading institutions—including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their academic pedigree is matched by a commitment to student mentorship and real-world relevance.

Expect actionable feedback, critical discussion, and an emphasis on practical outcomes. Your tutors understand the global landscape of banking and finance and are dedicated to helping you grow into a leader who can navigate it with confidence.

A Global Cohort, A Global Network

Join a truly international classroom with students from over 130 countries. You’ll engage with peers who bring experience from emerging markets and global financial centres alike—expanding your perspective and growing a network that stretches across industries and continents.

Flexible Payments that Work with Your Plans

This flexibility supports your timeline and your budget as you prepare for the next phase of your career in finance, banking, or the broader corporate world.

From São Paulo to the World: Your Career Advantage

São Paulo is a financial powerhouse—home to B3, major banks, investment firms, and a dynamic corporate landscape. With advanced training in banking strategy, risk management, and financial markets, you’ll be equipped to contribute at a higher level in roles spanning corporate treasury, credit analysis, capital markets, and financial planning—roles that thrive within São Paulo’s competitive ecosystem.

The city’s fast-growing fintech scene and payments innovation hubs are redefining how financial services are delivered. The programme’s international perspective and analytical depth prepare you to evaluate new business models, assess regulatory implications, and optimise growth strategies—skills valued by startups and established players across Vila Olímpia, Faria Lima, and beyond.

As Brazil advances large-scale infrastructure, energy transition, agribusiness, and export‑driven initiatives, expertise in international banking, trade finance, and risk mitigation becomes a strategic differentiator. Your MSc elevates your ability to navigate cross‑border flows, currency dynamics, and investment decisions—capabilities that are in demand from São Paulo to global headquarters.
