MBA Corporate Finance
Program description
The aim of the MBA specialising in corporate finance is to train ethical managers with cutting-edge technical and financial skills, who are aware of the directions in which their professions are evolving and the importance of their activity for society as a whole. This ambition for ethics and responsibility is central at a time when the need for business sustainability and technological developments (particularly blockchain) are profoundly changing the financial professions.
The programme familiarises students with the institutions, products, approaches and concrete practices involved in financing and capital markets operations. Students acquire knowledge of corporate financial decision-making in an international environment and learn to master the tools for evaluating investments or acquisitions, the ability to manage cash flow and risks, and the techniques for raising capital on the financial markets. It enables students to go on to study for an MBA in Audit and Management Control, an MBA in Wealth Management, an MBA in Banking and Insurance or an MBA in Financial Engineering at ESLSCA.
