MSc in Finance - Supported by the Mediterranean Union

Presentation: 

The knowledge of financial mechanisms is a major advantage for companies for which no part of the globe should be neglected. The complexity of the tools made available to financiers means that in-depth knowledge is needed, both theoretical and practical.
The goal of this training is to give students and professionals from around the Mediterranean the possibility of obtaining a diploma from a French “Grande Ecole” while remaining located in their own country via the organisation of courses and controls using new technologies.
“You no longer have to come to us, we come to you. You will have the same training as in France, the same diploma based on a true equality of treatment, without any notions of category”.
This system offers the same access to all in habitants of the Mediterranean countries that cooperate with the project, especially thanks to our partner universities in these different countries.
 

Objectives: 

This programme aims at providing future financial managers (banking, business, international organisations, etc.) with the financial knowledge and competences required in order to take on transversal functions within financial and management departments.
One particular aspect of the programme is to enable participants to solve problems specific to the practices and regulations that are in force in countries situated within the Mediterranean region. The courses are delivered taking into account both the point of view of traditional finance and Islamic finance. 
 

curriculum: 

Teaching is based on:

  • E-Learning techniques,
  • Presence, with 6 to 8 face to face seminars in collaboration with the partner universities in the different Mediterranean countries. 

A schedule is defined with each class when the logins and passwords are given which sets the module validation dates, the theme study remission dates (with digital signature), face to face sessions and exams.
 

Duration 

Two semesters of academic training +  the end of study course, or a professional thesis if the candidate does not have a job in the field of finance.
