Introduction
A two-year MSc program, fully taught in English, designed for students wishing to enhance their understanding of financial analysis in a very interactive environment. Graduates typically go on to work in investment banks, private equity firms, asset managers, and non-financial institutions.
The curriculum puts a particular emphasis on corporate finance, financial engineering and risk management, quantitative asset management, macroeconomic analysis, quantitative trading, and financial regulation.
Through a mix of theory and practice, interaction with finance practitioners, and empirical sessions in our info-providers lab facilities, our MSc has been designed as a smooth transition to the finance industry.
