Finance
The Master in Finance opens doors to a wide range of professions, from corporate finance to market finance and banking. After a common first year (M1), this diversity is achieved in the second year (M2) through student specialization across three distinct tracks: the M2 in Risk and Asset Management (GRA), the M2 in Bank Finance (BF), and the M2 in Strategy, Engineering & Financial Innovation (SIIF).
Within the Graduate School of Economics & Management (GS E&M), the Master in Finance is the only one to cover the entire scope of finance and the main banking professions.
Strongly supported by research (with the backing of the RITM and CEPS-EPEE research centers), this master offers a single M1 program (accessible via two pathways) that feeds into three distinct M2 specializations. These programs are available through both traditional full-time study and work-study arrangements, providing a targeted educational offering that nonetheless covers the full spectrum of the discipline.
Thanks to the expertise of its research centers and its pedagogical approach, this specialization stands out for its rich integration of management science and economic science.

Learning outcome targets
The Master in Finance provides practical skills, drawing on a cross-disciplinary foundation in economics and management. The first year (M1) equips students with the main tools, concepts, and analytical frameworks in corporate and market finance. This is followed by three M2 specializations that lead to careers in:
- Strategy for banks (Bank Finance track).
- Strategy for businesses (Strategy, Engineering, and Financial Innovation track).
- Risk and asset management (Risk and Asset Management track).
These three specializations clearly stand out in terms of professional opportunities and offer specific courses in the second year, while the first year of the Master's provides students with a common knowledge base.
The curriculum is enhanced by the use of innovative teaching tools, the support of active research faculty in their laboratories, and the availability of additional professional certifications.
