The Bachelor in Finance, acquiring operational expertise in the “corporate” and “market” professions
In addition to the fundamentals, students are made aware of the specificities of certain sectors by experts. From the first year onwards, our courses are geared towards the chosen specialization, with an intensification in the second year to then access a third specialized year.
A diploma course in 1, 2 or 3 years to specialize in accounting and finance management.
This Bachelor’s degree trains students for jobs in finance and accounting. These jobs require an ability to handle figures and also to use computers (dashboards, financial monitoring or technical analyses). However, business skills, interpersonal skills, and, increasingly, digital technology skills have become essential to evolve in complex and changing roles, particularly in the banking sector.
The objective of this training is to develop all the skills mentioned above, but also to understand the dynamics of employment in finance.
All our final year courses are specialized and professional, allowing students to be directly operational in a company at the end of their course.
