Courses in Finance

Finance is the sector that manages capital, investments and risk, connecting those who have resources with those who need them to grow. Master's programmes in Finance train professionals able to value companies and projects, build portfolios, manage risk and operate in the markets, in a context made dynamic by technology, new rules and growing attention to sustainable finance.

The programmes include corporate finance, business valuation, quantitative finance, portfolio management, derivatives and risk management, markets and financial instruments, extraordinary finance, M&A, private equity and venture capital, behavioural finance, fintech and digital finance, sustainable finance and ESG, and bank economics. Lessons combine theory, models, trading simulations and business cases, with teachers from investment banks, funds and asset management companies.

A master's in Finance lets you acquire skills in financial statement analysis, building financial models in Excel and with programming languages, investment appraisal, risk management and communicating recommendations to investors and committees. You learn to work under pressure, with rigour and attention to the ethical and regulatory implications of financial decisions.

Career opportunities include financial analyst, investment banker, portfolio manager, risk manager, head of corporate finance, private equity analyst, trader, financial advisor, quant analyst and treasury manager. Opportunities exist in investment banks, asset management companies, funds, insurance companies, consulting firms, companies and fintech. Some financial activities require specific qualifications and registration in professional registers.

Italian finance is concentrated mainly in Milan, home to the Stock Exchange, large banks and numerous intermediaries that offer internship and job opportunities to those with specialist training.
