The Finance Department at KEDGE Business School brings together a team of research-active faculty and practitioner-teachers whose expertise spans all areas of contemporary finance.
Our areas of specialisation are structured around five key pillars:
- Financial Markets, covering asset valuation, portfolio management and investment strategies.
- Corporate Finance, focusing on strategic financial decisions, capital structure and value creation.
- Financial Analysis, developing skills in financial diagnostics, business valuation and financial forecasting.
- Sustainable Finance and Impact Investing, addressing ESG challenges and driving the transformation of financial practices towards greater responsibility.
- Data Science Applied to Finance and Fintech, integrating emerging technologies, artificial intelligence and financial innovation.
This complementary range of disciplines enables the Department to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on careers in finance, in line with the evolving needs of the sector.
Department members deliver a blend of theoretical and practical education, combining a strong academic foundation in financial concepts, models and quantitative methods with an applied approach through case studies, corporate projects and the use of professional tools. This dual approach equips our students with the skills needed to enhance their employability and adapt to the changing landscape of the financial industry.
Our faculty members contribute to all of KEDGE Business School’s programmes, including undergraduate and graduate programmes such as the Grande École Programme (PGE), KEDGE Bachelor, EBP International and IBBA, as well as executive education programmes.
