The Master of Science in Finance prepares experienced and non-experienced students for international careers in finance. The program covers the fundamentals of finance, as well as advanced topics in corporate finance, financial management, and financial markets. Its aim is to provide students with strong technical and analytical skills in the principles and application of finance, as well as a good sector knowledge, and a multicultural exposure. The students following the MSc in Finance generally wish to prepare for careers in the financial sector, such as investment and commercial banking, asset management, financial services and consulting, or at corporate finance positions within international companies at a managerial level. The program provides an excellent preparation to the Chartered Financial Analysts® (CFA) exams, as it is based on the CFA Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK). It also covers related fields such as management control systems, business law, corporate governance, and private equity investment.

Personal Development Planning within the MBA/MSc Program
MSc Finance students participate in a career development program including personal coaching with Patrick Fearon (a veteran and expert of the banking industry). Students have a first one to one meeting in October to clarify career goals, CV and motivation letter, development gaps etc. At the end of this first meeting, each student leaves with an action plan to work on. Then in February, a second meeting takes place to assess progress on the action plan and give further advice to students on what they need to do to get an internship or a job in the Finance industry.
