Master’s Degree in Finance and Risk Management

The Master's Degree in Finance and Risk Management is offered by the University of Brescia, Department of Economics and Management. The course offers interdisciplinary skills combining economics, statistics and management, with lectures, computer exercises, discussion of real cases, seminars and optional internships. The final assessment is a research thesis. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years, full-time and in person in Brescia. The language is Italian, with B2 English certification required for admission. Career days and extracurricular internships are offered.

The aim is to provide tools for the analysis, assessment and hedging of financial risks and to develop independence of judgement to operate in complex financial contexts. Career outcomes are roles at banks, financial intermediaries and non-financial companies in financial management and control. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
