The MSc in Financial Markets is the result of the merger of the MSc in Capital Markets and the MSc in Risk & Asset Management. As for the MSc in Capital Markets and the MSc in Risk & Asset Management, the MSc in Financial Markets derives from the expertise developed by the industry acclaimed EDHEC-Risk Institute.


The programme brings the latest advances of applied research and is specifically designed to impart a thorough knowledge of market-based finance, risk management techniques for traditional and alternative investments, capital markets trading, derivative pricing, financial modeling and asset management.

 
It is designed so as to offer flexibility and progressive specialisation to educate experts the industry is requiring and includes four core modules that are the necessary foundations to master market finance issues and state-of-the-art techniques. Then, students will opt for one of the two open majors: Asset Management or Trading. The main objective is being to offer students the ability to focus on the two main branches of the industry depending on their career choices.

To go further in academic and applied expertise, elective courses allow participants to tailor the course curriculum to their specific needs.
