Welcome to MiF at NES!
The mission of the New Economic School (NES) is to benefit Russia’s private and public sectors through excellence in economics education and research. In 1992 NES was created to introduce a master’s degree program in economics. The success of this program turned NES into the best economics institution in Russia and Eastern Europe. Our faculty publishes in the leading international journals and prominently represents Russia in the international economics and finance profession.
In January 2007 we launched a new Masters in Finance (MiF) program supported by Morgan Stanley to reach early- and mid-career finance professionals. In June of 2008 we awarded diplomas to the first cohort of MiF graduates. In the Fall 2008, in the very middle of the global financial crisis, we managed to recruit the third cohort of students and have now opened the admissions for the 4th class. The students and the alumni report that our dreams about the great finance program in Moscow are coming true. We have a program that meets international quality standards and at the same time provides knowledge which can well be used in the daily life of the Russian finance community.
The Masters in Finance program relies on the permanent faculty in economics and finance and visiting professors from the leading universities and business schools in the world. The key advantage of the program is its unique cooperation with the private sector. Leaders of Russian and international finance community participate in shaping the program’s curriculum, give guest lectures and teach full courses. This cooperation helps the program to fulfill its goal of providing students with skills based on cutting-edge financial research and applicable to the modern world of finance.
The success of our new program takes more than excellent permanent and visiting faculty and cooperation with private sector. The 15 years of NES history has taught us that the School’s most valuable asset is neither faculty, nor staff, nor academic resources or curriculum; it is students. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 the Masters in Finance program attracted excellent students. Our goal is to continue to bring in the best and brightest professionals from the Russian finance community, who will be able to take it to the new level. Only the talented and motivated students will make the Masters in Finance program what we envision it: the best finance program in Russia, the path to successful career and the source of future leaders for the Russian economy and society.
