Career
The BFA (Banking, Finance and Insurance) Magistère Degree opens up opportunities in all types of roles within Market Finance, Corporate Finance, and Insurance.
Students choose a specialism based on their interests, the internships they have completed, and the professional contacts they have made through attending conferences and forums. The options available to students mean they will often choose their specialization during the internship that takes place at the end of the 2nd year, or at the start of the 3rd year.
There are certain professions that are somewhat different to the main career paths that tend to stem from the Magistère, such as financial mathematics, research and teaching, but there are Magistère alumni who are also very successful within these less common career paths.
