First year MSc in Economics student at the Universitat de Barcelona School of Economics Gerard Domènech has been awarded one of the Masters of Excellence grants from Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation. “This scholarship is an enormous help, which allows me to focus entirely on my studies during these two years. As it is an ‘Excellence’ grant, I also see it as a recognition and an expression of confidence”, Gerard Domènech said.
Being a graduate in Mathematics, he has admitted that: “I decided to do a master’s in Economics because it had always been a science which I had found interesting. I even considered doing my undergraduate degree in Economics. After my bachelor in Mathematics, I was also interested in applying what I had seen and learnt to this new field”
The grants are aimed to Spanish students and awarded in recognition of the effort and the academic records. “I still do not know what my goals will be after the MSc in Economics, but I do know that I would love to have a job which is strongly research-oriented, regardless of it is at the university or not”, he said.
