The skills they hone will allow students to work in financial careers that work on a micro-, meso- or macro-environmental scale: tertiary, industrial or financial firms; start-ups; micro-enterprises; SMEs; publicly listed companies; and national or supranational entities.

The MSc enables students to acquire expertise in financial practices and tools from many points of view: macro-economics and geopolitical environment, long-term financial management (financing structures and choices, business valuation, capital market financing, etc.) and asset management/capital-investment skills (financial analysis, financial diagnosis, familiarity with IT tools and financial modeling), with corporate strategy as the centerpiece.

The Sustainable Finance expertise lets you acquire combined financial and extrafinancial expertise, which is critical as
financial careers change from asset management to an increased emphasis on social issues in investment decisions and
financing choices. All the training tracks in the MSc include courses and lectures that address investor responsibility and the
inclusion of extra-financial and performance and impacting factors in investing.

A full English curriculum with professors, lecturers and a network of international partners will enable students to interact in a globalised economy with open-mindedness toward their local community and the wider world.
