OBJECTIVES
The objective is to create fully independent specialists combining quantitative and operational skills together with institutional competencies. For this reason the technical skills developed in our program are complemented with courses dedicated to more general economic and institutional aspects of finance.
The program is of particular relevance to those planning to work, or working in the fields of:
- capital markets, sales and trading;
- risk control and risk management;
- investment management and hedge funds;
- new product design and structuring;
- derivatives pricing, trading and risk management;
- financial modelling.
Contents
The program is completed in 10 months full-time. To qualify for the Master degree participants must successfully complete 17 courses (fundamentals, core and electives) and an individual project or an internship report. The fundamentals and core courses are compulsory and will be taken by everyone.The electives are selected from a wide menu and will reflect your individual choices and interests.
- 7 fundamentals (I term);
- 6 core courses (II term);
- 4 electives, from a list of about ten courses (III term);
- individual project/internship report.
The first term covers mainly introductory courses with the aim of establishing a common language between the faculty and the participants and to smooth out the differences in academic and working backgrounds.
The second term is intended to enphasize different fields of finance, combining quantitative and risk management subjects. It focuses on the most technical aspects of asset pricing and hedging while stressing the institutional, organizational and regulatory aspects.
The third term offers a number of optional courses, each dedicated to some specific aspects of applied finance.
A final project or an internship concludes the program.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
