The Master’s Degree organization and the Banco Santander-Universitat de València Seminar on International Finance are preparing a series of talks in which graduates from the master’s degree will talk about their personal experience.

We’ve spoken on other occasions about the job placement bank of the Master’s Degree in Banking and Quantitative Finance, the advantages our Workshops provide when making the jump to the job market, and even certain particular profiles, but if there is one group that can give an informed view on the career paths of this degree, that’s its own graduates.
This is why the academic coordination committee of the Master’s Degree in Banking and Quantitative Finance of the University of Valencia has organised a series of conferences introducing the possible career paths our students can follow. The sessions are held under the umbrella of the Banco Santander-Universitat de València Seminar on International Finance, and have our first year students in mind.
The talks will be held in the Ignacio Villalonga room at the Faculty of Economics (first floor), from 17:30 next Wednesday, May 25th. In this session, three alumni of the Master’s Degree in Banking and Quantitative Finance will participate.
- Vicente Medina. Trading Control Analyst at Repsol for three years, he graduated from the master’s degree in 2009, after finishing his thesis “Stylised facts on CO2 returns”. Between 2009 and 2012 he followed Ph.D. studies in Economics and Quantitative Finance. He participated in this same seminar a few months ago, with a conference in a Research Workshop on Credit Default Swaps.
- Alexander Zumba. Consulter at PwC, he completed his master’s degree studies between 2013 and 2015. His thesis dealt with a Spanish example: “Pricing forward contracts in power markets: a comparative study for the Spanish case”.
- Paula Cruz. Also from our 2013-2015 promotion, she completed a final master’s thesis entitled “Competencia versus estabilidad en los márgenes de intermediación bancarios. Comparación internacional” (Competition versus stability in banking intermediation margins. An international comparison). She started her doctoral thesis this year at the University of Valencia.
The Banco Santander-Universitat de València Seminar on International Finance, organised annually since 2007, holds periodic “formative, cultural, research and academic extension activities orientated towards the ongoing improvement of knowledge in the field of international finances”. It’s coordinated by the Financial and Actuarial Economics and Business Finances departments at the UV.
