Word from the director

Created in the 1980s, the Master 2 Finance at the University Panthéon-Assas Paris 2 has an excellent program for students wishing a training to exercise financial professions with high responsibility.

This Master is a complete training in finance through courses in two fields of complementary skills: corporate finance and market finance. This complementarity is to ensure students wide prospects of integration into the labor market.

The student selection process is rigorous: over five hundred applications, only twenty candidates are admitted each year. Part of the candidates have often made their studies abroad.

Courses are taught in a balanced way by academics and financial professionals. The goal is to combine the most recent developments in finance to the operational lessons provided by professionals occupying senior positions in their field. Former graduates also organize regularly experience feedback to students to help them in the best possible way for their professional orientation.

An internship of three to six months is integrated into our program. Students are also key players in the Master by actively participating in the school life (organization of events and meetings with the banking community, travel arrangements at graduation, relationship with the alumni association).

Each year, students can discover the global financial center of London thanks to the renewed support of Master partners. The experience of previous students shows that graduates of the Master are very good positions in both industrial and financial companies.
