✔️The Advanced Master in Financial Markets consists of 20 courses, and you can design your own module by selecting as many courses as you wish among the curriculum of this Master.

✔️The courses give participants a much deeper and more practical understanding of financial markets than the ones offered by classical academic programmes and many external training programmes for young and mid-career professionals.

✔️ Module participants follow the courses together with the participants of the Advanced Master and benefit from the same teaching support.  They may take exams at the end of the course like the Advanced Master participants.

✔️ Classes are taught after business hours (6 to 9 pm on weekdays or Saturdays) making it possible to combine them with a full-time professional activity.

✔️ Companies may register different staff to different courses if they wish as part of a single Module.
