Economic and Financial Engineering - 272 - Master's Year 2

“I chose the 2nd year of a Master’s Degree in Economic and Financial Engineering due to the quality of teaching in Corporate Finance, which is delivered primarily by professionals, and the focus on technical skills in this area.
Following this Master's Degree program, I opted for a final year internship in M&A within the Environment, Transport & Infrastructure team at BNP Paribas. The Director of this team also contributes to the Master’s Degree program each year as part of Lionel Melka’s M&A course.

I graduated in 2013, enabling me to take part in the M&A recruitment process for the major international banks, and I will soon be taking up a permanent position within the Investment Banking team at Nomura.”

“I work in Rates, Derivatives and Structured Products trading at La Banque Postale.
The Master’s Degree program gave me a strong grasp of derivatives and structured interest rate instruments, which has been very useful in my role as a trader. The strong quantitative aspect of the Master’s Degree program enabled me to be confident when dealing with traders, seeking to understand pricing and relay information to clients."

"Financial Engineer (Quantitative Research) at BNP PARIBAS Insurance.
My work involves selecting/validating mathematical models then designing and implementing pricing tools in order to develop complex financial products or insurance products.
The Master’s Degree program was quite intensive, and gave me an important foundation in the quantitative aspect of finance. It also provided me with the tools to further expand my knowledge in this area, which I did through a second Master’s Degree in Applied Mathematics.”
