Program Structure
The two-year program balances solid theoretical training and in-the-field application.
During the first year, students acquire key skills in all areas of finance. Thanks to this solid multidisciplinary foundation, they will be able to effectively interact in any professional context in finance throughout the course of their careers.
During the second year, students specialize in a professional track of their choice, applying the knowledge they acquire during the compulsory internship.
