Elena Costanzo
Class of 2021Market & Financial Risk Management, Intesa Sanpaolo, Milan
I enjoyed studying financial concepts and mathematical models, both in theory and in practice, as well as participating in group projects which allowed me to deal with real job situations.The hard and soft skills developed during the master helped me to succeed in job interviews and in the first steps of my career.
I’m quite sure that I wouldn’t get the internship in the Market and Financial Risk Management department at Intesa Sanpaolo and perform so well in it without my MAFINRISK experience..
