The operation of financial markets is one of the most complex topics of study due to what underlies them: interactions among human beings, with all of their conceptions and misconceptions about the reactions of other human beings. This one-year programme provides you with the theoretical background and the advanced mathematical and empirical tools required in advanced financial ana­lysis. The education aims to provide stu­dents with advanced analytical skills suita­ble to support the financial operations of firms and financial institutions in general. The curriculum is especially designed to match the requirements faced by subjects operating in international markets, taking into account the need for continuous renewal and the constant development of the business environment.

This education prepares students for positions demanding advanced analytical skills in finance and statistics. Such positions are mainly found in the financial sectors but are also found in other parts of private and public sectors around the world. The programme also prepares students for doctoral research education.
