Master in International Finance – Perspectives from two current students
Two of our current Master in International Finance students have kindly shared what they appreciate most about the program and why they chose Luxembourg School of Business.
Silvia Silipo, Italy
As a woman building a career in finance, being part of the MIF program is especially meaningful to me. Finance is a demanding and highly competitive field, and I believe it is essential for women to develop strong technical knowledge, confidence, and international exposure in order to grow and stand out professionally. In this respect, studying in such a stimulating and internationally oriented academic environment has been an especially valuable step in supporting my ambitions and preparing me for a long-term career in the industry.
Studying in Luxembourg adds exceptional value to this experience. As one of Europe’s leading financial hubs, Luxembourg offers a highly international environment and outstanding networking opportunities. Being in a school so closely connected to this dynamic ecosystem makes the learning experience even more relevant, as students are surrounded by major financial institutions, industry professionals, and peers from diverse backgrounds, all of which create a setting that is both motivating and closely aligned with the real world of finance.
I chose the MIF program because of the quality of its professors, the strength of the curriculum, and the career opportunities it offers. I particularly value the fact that the professors combine academic excellence with practical industry insight, making the courses both rigorous and relevant. The program’s strong connection to the financial sector, including internship opportunities with leading financial institutions, confirmed for me that this was the right academic environment in which to develop both personally and professionally.

The school also provides valuable events and networking opportunities that are essential for young talents who want to build connections and prepare for their future careers. What I appreciate the most is the constant support from the program coordinator and academic director, who are always flexible, approachable, and ready to help whenever needed. Overall, the program is a great choice for students who want to grow both academically and professionally.
