The program focuses on finance as a tool to pursue a career in this highly dynamic sector. The Master in Finance equips participants with up-to-the minute knowledge in key areas of finance such as financial modelling, Islamic finance, credit derivatives, financial crisis or mergers and acquisitions. The program will play a pivotal role in increasing candidate appeal in recruitment processes for leading financial institutions, such as investment banks, commercial banks, private equity or asset management. This is a program centred around finance, in line with the demand of the recruiting market in the financial arena. Further areas covered include macroeconomics, financial accounting, financial entrepreneurship, presentation skills and negotiation. In addition to finance courses, students will be required to undertake level I of the CFA Charter, a highly respected international degree within the finance sector. A Master at IE is filled with intense experiences. It is not only a time of much work and study, it is a way of life and, above all, a transformation of professional and personal perspectives which stay with our students for the rest of their lives. It is about being an entrepreneur, innovative, tolerant, a disciplined professional, multi-cultural, committed, all features of what students find every day in their classes, in the events organised at IE, in their dealings with the various departments and in their contacts with our alumni.
