Is this set of courses enough for a quant analyst job?

Hello.

I am refering to quant analyst/econometrician or anything similar in a bank or a financial firm, doing quant analysis on the risk of the portfolio, or asset pricing. Not quant trader or anything like that. I am interesting on the valuation and modelling, rather than trading myself

Finance major in europe
classes
stats I, II (regressions, hypothesis testing, some basic statistics)
econometrics I
computation finance I, II (monte carlo simulation, binomial trees, matlab, vba, regressions)
calculus

relevant but not statistical classes
portfolio theory, corporate finance, risk management, international finance

and i am thinking of a master in applied economics

micro, macro, financial math, econometrics, "risk valuation" (i translated to english but it feels weird from my language)


So do you feel those classes are enough with some personal study too?
I could go a master in statistics, but i would prefer for personal reasons, to stay close in finance/econ theory.
