"Basic coding skills don’t cut it anymore, it’s the era of big data on Wall Street and Bay Street. Banks and financial institutions are looking for talent that has a grip on technology. The MFin program teaches you how to frame intelligent questions and cut through the noise."
- Laura Garzon (MFin ‘20), Associate, Prime Services Group, CIBC Capital Markets

Meet the class
Each MFin class is a diverse group of professionals from all areas of finance - risk, portfolio management, corporate finance, equity research, accounting, sales & trading and so on. They are finance professionals in large banks and boutique firms. Students are selected for their motivation, professional and personal achievements and potential for continuing success.
"The MFin program was a great experience and I’m happy with my time there. I met a lot of smart, creative peers and faculty, and more importantly, we debated both the theory and practice of finance. At the end of the day we all came out smarter, more experienced, and better prepared."
