The objectives of the program:

Acquire solid knowledge of financial markets, models, products, and quantitative strategies: the core of this international program (taught entirely in English) focuses on specific valuation and trading techniques, including investment, hedging, arbitrage, and risk management strategies.

Enable students to develop a broad knowledge base through a wide range of courses in economics, ethics, finance, and regulation, in order to strengthen and expand their foundation of knowledge.

Prepare students to work independently on projects and produce reports of professional quality. The program offers a well-balanced mix of theory and practice, as well as academic and operational skills.

Prepare students for an international career: the program offers an international curriculum designed to prepare students for recruitment interviews both in France and abroad. Several courses are dedicated to this goal, and multiple educational trips are organized each year to support this objective.

Foster diversity and teamwork skills, reflected both in the variety of guest speakers and the students, who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Having them work together over two years creates a significant opportunity for indirect learning.
