Graduate profile
The graduate profile of this program means that the student acquires the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to perform various professional activities in the financial field, such as:
- Financial management and administration.
- Executive roles in public and private banks.
- Financial advisory or investment portfolio management.
In addition, the student will be prepared to work as a high-level professional in financial departments, as a “financial controller,” or as the person responsible for these areas, as well as an expert in specialized areas.
Professional internships
Internships in companies are a key element of your training. Gaining experience after learning in your degree program is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in your study plan) and extracurricular (which you can do voluntarily).
These internships involve monitoring by the company and the internship professor. Activities will be coordinated by the professor-tutor responsible for internships and external agreements at UEM, who will liaise with the company and oversee the student’s performance during the internship. The professor acts as a link between the student and any professional doubts that may arise. The tutor is responsible for issuing an evaluation report based on the information provided by the company and the student’s academic internship report.
If you want to improve your job prospects before finishing your university studies, you can do extracurricular internships. You can do them in any course, but we remind you that internships are a complementary training activity to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.

Individualized learning
