I’m wondering about the networks and connections I can build if I come to study in Bologna. Generally want to know if it would be worth it to spend the next 2 years studying finance in Bologna or getting locally certified as an actuary.

Also wondering if there’s a way to work in finance or in the university alongside going to classes.

I’m from the Balkans (non-EU) and wish to do a Master’s that’s more rigorous and prestigious than the local ones, which are too easy. I’m interested in 2 programs: **1. Economics and Econometrics; 2. Quantitative Finance.**

I have 2 YOE as an FP&A (I also do planning, reporting and a bit of portfolio management). I’ve published (co-authored) econometric papers and have a nearly perfect GPA and 250 ECTS.
