PROGRAMME

Since the 1970s the exciting field of Capital Markets Finance has seen significant global growth in terms of the complexity of financial instruments traded and the overall extent of money transacted. This MSc course is designed specifically to impart a thorough knowledge of the operation of global capital markets, the state-of-the-art financial instruments currently employed, advanced pricing tecnniques and global risk management concepts.

The course is ideally suited for those who seek to build on or embark on a career in trading or sales on the trading floor of multi-national banks or corporations. Again, the use of elective courses allow the student to further tailor the course curriculum to their specific needs. The use of the FININFO trading floor at EDHEC is a useful means of putting into practice much of the theory imparted during the courses.
