A leading programme to understand the finance of tomorrow

The professor of finance and economics is therefore taking over the management of the MSc Sustainable Finance, the pioneering programme in Responsible Finance in Europe.

Delivered since last year on the Paris campus in English, this specialised international programme provides training in financial tools with dual financial and extra-financial expertise. The master prepares future finance managers for the new ethical and societal challenges in their investments and strategies.

Finance is an indispensable tool for society, with objectives of profitability, performance, stability, and many others. However, in the face of social and environmental challenges, it must now evolve to understand them and propose solutions. The purpose of the MSc Sustainable Finance is to train financial professionals with a vision of social and environmental responsibility, which is transmitted to the companies/organisations in which they are employed with a high level of performance. Come and discover finance in a different way, from a new angle, with an expert teaching team and a network of partners provided for an easier professional integration. Joining the MSc Sustainable Finance means making the choice of today's and tomorrow's finance with an innovative approach. Take a step ahead!
