If you chose the MSc Finance, will be able to chose between two tracks:

• Corporate Finance and Advisory track
• Equity Research and Investment Management track

Description for the Corporate Finance and Advisory track:

Are you looking for an intellectual challenge, an opportunity to advance your skills in modelling, analyzing and thinking strategically?

Do you prefer Corporate Finance? Would you like to work in an investment bank (M&A, ECM or DCM), for a Private Equity fund or for a Corporate Finance advisory boutique? Look no further, this MSc is for you.

Strenghts of this track:

This MSc is a stimulating and intensive program designed to provide graduate-level corporate finance training to master the most advanced techniques and tools that will prepare you to become an ideal candidate for any position in an investment bank and even in the rest of the business world.

You will specialize in one of the most competitive and prestigious areas in Finance: The Corporate Finance and Advisory industry.

Practical team simulation projects and case studies will offer you a unique opportunity to learn the hard and soft skills necessary to work in this industry (work in a high-pressure environment, being perfectionist, collect and analyse complex data rapidly and efficiently) by apprenticeship and not only through a text book.

Description for the Equity Research and Investment Management track:

This MSc is affiliated to the CFA Institute and prepares you for the three CFA exams, as part of the curriculum.

The CFA® charter is one of the highest distinctions you can earn in the Finance profession, and it is highly regarded by Finance recruiters. This program prepares you to be successful in a career in Finance, with a focus on Investment Management, analytical jobs and Equity Research.

Strengths of this program:

A CFA charter is a strong asset to be recruited in the Finance industry: it shows a good command of generic financial concepts, an ability to work hard and differentiates from other candidates. A level 1 candidacy is often required to apply to top jobs in I-banks and Investment Management (IM) firms.

This MSc provides a theoretical foundation for a broad range of jobs: both in corporate (financial analysis, equities) and markets (quantitative skills, financial instruments, portfolios), while helping to maintain high ethical standards.

The IM industry offers many employment opportunities: new regulation forced the separation of investment and research functions — creating a need for additional analysts — while the need for investment managers increases with an aging population.
