An international openness
The Magistère in BFA (Banking, Finance, and Insurance) offers three different programs for students to go abroad:
- Through an international exchange program, Magistère students can do a non-degree-granting study abroad semester at no cost. This is in the third year of the Magistère program.
- A degree-granting international exchange program allows students to complete a dual-degree program abroad during the last year of their Magistère. They therefore complete two full semesters at a foreign university.
- For the degree-granting year, they have to enroll in a foreign university for a fee-based degree program after completing the third year of the Magistère. However, many students receive a scholarship.
The BFA Magistère program has existing relationships with foreign universities that make it possible to choose any number of options; as more than 30% of Magistère students have worked abroad, foreign exchange programs have become central to the program.
Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management (QTEM) is an international network bringing together outstanding students, academic partners, and global corporations.
