OPPORTUNITIES

At the end of the first year of the Master in Finance, most students continue to study to specialise in Financial Analysis and Asset Management, in Corporate Finance, or in teaching in finance and accounting. It is also possible to start a doctorate.

This course is unique with an employment rate of 95% of young graduates who work as executives in management control, auditing or accounting and financial control. They also work as financial resources managers or financial advisors or directors.

ORGANISATION AND OBJECTIVES

The Master in Finance is a 2-year program. The first year is common to both specialisations.

The different classes in M1 should provide all students within the Master in Finance a common solid and basic training (theoretical and technical) in finance, accounting and auditing, enabling them to evolve in all financial or accounting fields within companies or banks. Even if it already provides a specialisation in banking, finance and management control in companies, or in market finance, it allows, at the end of the M1, a reorientation towards any M2 in the same field. It also gives an introduction to research.

 The Master 2 offers two specialisations:

• Corporate Control and Finance

Students can join a company or professional organisation during their training, via the following professionalization arrangements:
                     -    The apprenticeship agreement, IAE Nancy is a partner of the CFA of the University of Lorraine
                     -    The professionalization contract
                     -    Internship

• Financial Analysis and Asset Management

ADMISSION & APPLICATION

Candidates are selected on their academic file and through a potential interview. The board of examiners makes the final decision about the admission.

The first year of the Master's degree is open to students with a bachelor's degree (primarily in Management, Economics or equivalent).

 The submission of applications are fully online via “the e-candidat” platform (IAE Nancy’s website).

CONTINUING EDUCATION: application + interview for working professionals or those covered by the Validation of Professional and Personal Experience (VAPP - law 1985) or the Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE).
