Program Objectives
The first year of the Master's degree in Finance: Companies and Markets aims to introduce students to the various financial subdisciplines. Students enrolled in the initial training program will declare their desired area of specialization during this first year. Taking a gap year (which most of them do) will allow them to feel confident about their decision. First-year students are naturally inclined to follow the Finance: Companies and Markets track.
Program objectives:
- Understand the fundamentals of Finance;
- Gain an overview of the different financial subdisciplines and fields in order to choose an area of specialization in Year 2;
- Become expert in financial asset evaluation tools; know how to assess and manage financial risk;
- Become expert in the software programs used to resolve financial problems
