You can choose to study between one (1) and four (4) subjects (limited to one subject per quarter) in the professional master’s without being linked to the course.

People who wish to study in this way will only pay for the subjects they study, and when they participate in the selection process for the master’s and they pass it in order to become a full student, they can use all their credits, provided no more than five (5) years have gone by.

This mechanism is recommended for people who wish to do a professional master’s, but who are in a phase of their personal or professional life that does not permit the necessary dedication to the course.

You can apply to take a one-off subject at any time by emailing coordenacao.mpe@fgv.b

Curriculum

Criteria for evaluating the education and learning process

Students will be evaluated in each subject, and they will be given a grade between 0 and 10. Students will pass if they get a score of at least 6.0 (six) in each subject. The average grade across all subjects required to pass the course is 6.0 (six).

Students who attend less than 75% (seventy-five percent) of the classes will be failed, not including absences applicable to the Exceptional Study Regime provided for in Executive Order 1,044 of October 21, 1969 and Law 6,202 of April 17, 1975. The maximum absence rate of 25% (twenty-five percent) encompasses absences due to weddings, bereavement and other impediments specified in law (military service, elections, court summonses, blood donations, paternity leave, etc.) Students who fail the same subject more than twice or in up to three subject during the course will be removed from the course.

The master’s thesis, which is the course’s final paper, will address finance and/or economic topics aimed at real problems at companies, organizations in general or in society, or the development of theoretical models that can be applied and tested empirically in future. Students will be guided by MPE professors, and the thesis may be written in Portuguese, English or Spanish. Foreign-language works must contain key words and a chapter written in Portuguese, summarizing their content. The theses are judged by a committee designated by the Course Coordinator, made up of three (3) or four (4) members, one of whom must be from outside FGV EESP, as follows:

• Orienting professor;
• Professor from EESP or outside EESP;
• Professor outside EESP.

 

The theses are considered a pass, fail or conditional pass by the examining committee. If they are not submitted by the specified deadline or they are failed by the examining committee, the students in question are automatically removed from the course.
