In its 2-year format, you also benefit from up to two 6-month professional experiences in France or abroad, or one 6-month professional experience and an academic semester abroad.

A tailor-made curriculum with 40 possible course combinations

The Year 1 will allow you a guided freedom of choice and a preliminary level of in-depth study before the choice of specialisation during Year 2.
Offering 40 possible course combinations, you will be able to choose a Major (from a choice of 4) alongside a Minor (from a choice of 10).

Expertise tracks to specialise:

• Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®): A 360° approach to finance, with courses that cover ethics, quants, reporting and financial analysis, economics, asset valuation, portfolio management, and more. Students will prepare to take the CFA® Level I exam in Year 1 and the Level II exam in Year 2.

Professional experience to make your career plan a reality:

Depending on your Year 1 format, you will be able to complete up to 18 months of professional experience. Each year, more than 98,000 internship or job offers are available to students and the Talent & Career Development Unit, a team of 40 experts, is dedicated to provide you with personalised support.

At the end of the programme and after a validation of ECTS credits per programme year, the level 7 of MIM is awarded to participants.
