ALUMNI STORIES & MORE: GET TO KNOW.....

I attended the LL.M Finance program at the ILF during the 2023-24 academic year. Shortly after graduating, I began working as an Associate in the Corporate and M&A Department at a leading Mexican law firm. I can confidently say that the ILF provided me with the essential legal, financial, and analytical skills that enabled me to secure this position and set me on a clear path toward professional success.

I recall my experience in the program as both academically and professionally extraordinary. The courses were taught by industry-leading professionals who perfectly blended theoretical knowledge with practical insights drawn from real-world scenarios. This was further enhanced by the invaluable opportunity to intern at a top-tier law firm in Frankfurt. I was motivated to apply to the ILF because of its outstanding international ranking as one of the best LL.M Finance programs in the world. Additionally, its location in Frankfurt, the leading financial center in the EU, was another significant factor that prompted me to apply. 

From my personal experience, once you have been accepted, I encourage you to truly embrace the moment and make the most of every opportunity—whether it's learning from your professors, engaging with your classmates, maximizing your internship, or exploring all that the city of Frankfurt has to offer.

Reflecting on what made my studies at the ILF so remarkable, I recall how friendly everyone in the program was, starting with the ILF staff and professors who were always there to support me, as well as my fellow ILF peers, whom I can now call friends. For me, living in Frankfurt was a transformative experience - one that I will always cherish. Through the ILF, I not only applied what I learned in a practical setting, but I also sharpened my professional skills, forged lifelong friendships, and significantly expanded my professional network!
