This two-year master’s program is jointly administered by the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) for the first-year curriculum and by the Toulouse School of Management (TSM) for the second-year curriculum.
In 2024, the Master’s in Finance was included in the prestigious Financial Times (FT) rankings. It ranked 11th in France (2nd in the “Value for Money” category) and was the only public master’s program to appear in these rankings.
In the first year, students follow a rigorous academic program covering various economic and quantitative technical disciplines in the social sciences. Core courses allow them to deepen their knowledge, while elective courses enable students to develop their career plans, taking into account the specializations offered in the second year of the master’s program.
The second year takes place at the Toulouse School of Management (TSM) as part of a partnership that leads to the award of both a TSE and a TSM degree.
The goal of the “Corporate Finance” Master’s program is to provide students with the skills necessary for the financial analysis and management of companies.
The “Financial Markets and Risk Evaluation” (FiRE) Master’s program aims to provide students with practical and theoretical knowledge of financial markets.
The “Finance and Information Technology” (FIT) Master’s program is a dual-specialization program in finance and financial information technology.
