Advanced Master in Financial Risk Management (shift schedule)

Sound financial management has always been essential to business success. The importance of this factor has further increased in recent years due to the increasing complexity and internationalisation of markets. Volatility in currency and capital markets, the search for cheap sources of capital, changes in regulations and tax laws affecting the financial world are some examples of this complexity. Innovations related to financial products accompanied these changes. These financial products, which were hedging instruments, quickly became instruments used to take positions on stock market trends. The assessment of the value of these assets, and the risk associated with them, has become crucial to the survival of many players on the financial markets. These developments have often found their origins in academic research. They have also generated a need for training, both for individuals wishing to pursue a career in finance, and for executives already working in the world of finance: bankers, insurers, consultants and finance managers in industrial firms. This is why, since 1995, Saint-Louis Bruxelles has offered a post-graduate programme in finance, focused on the study of financial risk management. In order to ensure that this programme is not simply an academic exercise detached from practical realities, several banks are associated with this advanced master's degree. The programme is therefore practical and applied, while retaining the intellectual rigour and curiosity characteristic of university studies.
