Nova publishes no salary figure for this programme, so this profile states none. What it reports is placement: 100% of graduates working within six months of graduating, and 72% with an international career. Nova's own master's index shows "#8" beside the International Master's in Finance; the page does not name the ranking table or the year in text, only in an accompanying image, so this profile records the figure as Nova displays it and does not restate it as a Financial Times position.
