I particularly appreciated that the programme focused on auditing, management control and accounting and this was exactly what I expected from this MSc. The courses were taught both by academics and professionals; which gave a good balance between theory and practice. Plus, the MSc in Audit & Management Control validates 5 out of the 7 DSCG credits; which is a big advantage when applying for a position in auditing or in management control. David Ouanounou (France)–EDHEC 2012 Junior Auditor, Mazars–France

The two majors are complemented by elective courses that enable students to further specialise or, on the contrary, to broaden their knowledge. Société Générale is the Corporate Programme Sponsor of the programme.

MSc in Financial Markets The programme introduces students to the main concepts of finance related to stocks, bonds, derivatives and alternative investments, as well as to the analytical tools used in the industry. Broadly speaking, the major in asset management focuses on the advanced techniques of portfolio construction and performance analysis, and dynamic asset allocation, while the major in trading focuses on trading financial securities.

International Accounting In 2005, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) were adopted for the first time in many countries around the world. The IASB and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the US have been committed to working towards converging the two frameworks. Despite convergence initiatives, there are still many differences between these two standards. In this context, it is very important to understand the main characteristics and differences of the international accounting principles (US GAAP and IAS/IFRS) with a specific focus on the IFRS framework.

Information Systems & Management Control The course examines the basic framework for integrated management information systems (ERP). The emphasis is on information systems for operations support, including the impact of information and communication technology on management control systems.

MSc IN AUDIT & MANAGEMENT CONTROL

Management Control Systems The primary objectives of our sessions will be on the process and structure of efficient management control and systems designed to achieve results control. This type of management control is largely dominant in the vast majority of organisations - it has a decidedly behavioural focus and requires performance measures, evaluations, as well as the provision of incentives.

Measuring & Managing Information Systems Performance The course focuses on the importance and characteristics of information for organisations and the use of cost/benefit analysis to assess its value. The course will also address how to align information systems with business strategy.

Operations Management The course focuses on the relationships between operations and cost control management in an industry perspective. It also address how to improve global performance in inventory management through the supply chain and manufacturing, with the implementation of total quality management tools.

Organisational Controls The course provides a clarification on control in organisation. As a transversal function, control is closely related to other functions: strategy, structure, human resources, information systems. The link between control and strategy on the one hand and between control and performance on the other hand will be specifically discussed.

Principles of Business Taxation In an open and competitive world operations are international and taxation is a permanent issue to deal with. It is fully part of the economic performance of companies with international activities and groups composed of domestic and foreign entities.

Project Management The course proposes a process-based approach to project management, providing an easily tailored and scalable method for the management of all types of projects. The method is the de facto standard for project management and is practised worldwide. It is a structured approach to project management and provides a method for managing projects within a clearly defined framework. Divided into manageable stages, the method enables efficient control of resources.

Strategic Planning & Control The course is about cost and management accounting. Cost accounting is concerned with information on the acquisition and consumption of resources, whereas the central focus of management accounting is on the management of organisational performance. Then, with the measurement and reporting of financial information, cost accounting provides useful input for management accounting.

I chose the EDHEC Master in Management because I wanted to graduate with a double-degree and be attractive to international companies. Thanks to the programme I have learnt about all key aspects of business management. After completing my entire gap year in the US, I choose to MSc in Audit & Management Control to strengthen my skills in auditing and accounting.

International Finance & Risk Management International corporations need to identify and manage various risks, where market risk, credit risk and currency risk are prominent. An international corporate financial manager needs to properly use the various financial instruments available to set adequate and accurate hedging strategies. Instruments involve fixed-income and currency securities and derivatives at various maturities. Other risks involve counterparty risk, liquidity risk and operational risk.

Major in Financial Intermediation Private Equity & Venture Capital The course aims to help students acquire professional practice in all aspects of a leveraged buyout. The course also examines the private equity market, which represents a major source of capital for new and established private firms. Students will learn how private equity funds are raised, structured and financed; how contracting is done in private equity markets; how to value private equity interests; the sources of capital for private companies; the strategies to follow for value creation.

Project Finance The course involves the raising of funds to finance a specific capital investment project in which the providers of the funds are primarily concerned by the cash flows generated by the project. The goal is to assess whether these cash flows will be sufficient to service the loans and provide an adequate return on the equity invested in the project. This course offers students an opportunity to understand the risk-return characteristics of unique projects from a multi-dimensional perspective.

This partnership gives us the opportunity to be close to the students prepared for and motivated by financial and investment banking professions, and the faculty, in order to create an academic programme that is constantly updated with the latest trends on the market. The students are given the tools to perform in the modern financial sector, and we can spot tomorrow’s talent and eventually integrate them into our teams.

Daniel Guardiola (Colombia)–EDHEC 2012 Equity Analyst, Comgest–France

MSc IN FINANCIAL MARKETS The MSc in Financial Markets introduces students to the main concepts of finance related to stocks, bonds, derivatives and alternative investments. It also enables them to further diversify their competencies by opting for one of the two specialisations: asset management or trading. Quantitative asset pricing and derivatives pricing models from cutting-edge research in finance are reviewed, as well as the techniques to take these models to real time data, including time series analysis, Monte-Carlo simulation and advanced econometric techniques. Broadly speaking, the major in asset management focuses on the advanced techniques of portfolio construction and performance analysis, as well as dynamic asset allocation, while the major in trading focuses on trading financial securities. Programme graduates work as fund managers, security analysts, risk managers, asset allocation specialists, hedge fund analysts or traders in asset management and brokerage companies, investment banks, hedge funds, private banks and pension funds.

The second part of the course introduces the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), discusses the arbitrage pricing theory (APT) and reviews empirical evidence related to these seminal theories. Tests of empirical implications of asset pricing models and of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) are also reviewed.

Fixed Income Securities & Risk Management The course gives students the necessary skills to understand the pricing and management of fixed-income securities. Topics include: interest rates and risk management in bond markets; corporate bonds; inflationlinked bonds; interest rate swaps; and securitised assets such as MBSs.

Upon completion of a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree of Mathematical & Computational Science at Stanford University in the US, I was interested in further exploring applications in the area of finance. I chose the MSc in Financial Markets at EDHEC as it provides an attractive combination of theory and practice in close cooperation with EDHEC-Risk Institute, a partnership that facilitates keeping up to date with current research in finance, which is critically important in this fast-changing sector. The programme also balances technical coverage with a more qualitative understanding of the markets and industry exposure, allowing us to establish a good foundation for finance-related work.

Major in Asset Management Alternative Investments The course aims to give participants a good understanding and workable knowledge of the techniques that should be part of the toolkit of anyone investing in, analysing and/or advising private and institutional clients (and more specifically hedge funds and commodity trading advisors) on the inclusion of alternative investments in their portfolios. It also enables students to assimilate the analytical arguments used in technical publicationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;related to in-house research notes of financial institutions and practitioner-oriented journalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;in order to be able to apply them.

Asset Management Drawing on the expertise developed by EDHEC-Risk Institute, the course equips students with both the technical and conceptual tools that will allow them to take an active role in this fast-evolving environment. In particular, it provides a detailed introduction to the modern approach to portfolio management. More specifically, the course focuses on the technical challenges involved in portfolio optimisation, with specific emphasis on the need for enhanced estimates of risk and expected returns.

New Frontiers in Risk & Asset-Liability Management The course intends to provide students with an in-depth appreciation of the concepts and techniques that will shape the future of investment management. It will also equip them with practical tools to improve asset allocation and risk management processes, implement novel investment management approaches, and develop new products and more importantly new solutions.

It also discusses the impact of the regulatory frameworks on capital markets and insurance markets and highlights the links between the reforms, their critics and potential developments. It discusses due diligence in the hedge fund industry, with a focus on operational, liquidity and counterparty risks. It explains sources of risk and key due diligence points for operational risk, liquidity risk and counterparty risk in hedge funds and highlights enhanced best business practice recommendations.

It discusses what causes markets to change, how change is affected by competition between markets, and how securities regulation hampers or promotes the development of markets. It also further emphasises how the different market structures affect trading strategies, trading costs, and others that are important to traders.

Applied Financial Markets The course aims to wrap up product and trading skills acquired in previous core courses, while completing the range of financial market products (money markets, credit & securitisation, mezzanine). It also gives students a global understanding of the financial markets industry, the players and their roles and enables them to acquire the techniques and skills necessary for operating at practitioner level in several areas within the financial markets, including research, origination, trading, buy- or sell-side, and thus enhance investment, financing or strategic performance. The second part of the course thoroughly explores money markets and foreign exchange markets instruments to be able to use them for hedging or arbitraging interest-rate exposure.

Market Risk Analysis The course analyses all aspects of market risk analysis from a practitionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view. Students will gain insight into the fundamentals of market risk management, while at the same time learning more about the challenges and successes organisations have had in implementing their programmes. Cutting-edge techniques in market risk analysis are provided. Topics include: market risk identification; risk measures (parametric and nonparametric methods); Value at Risk; model risk; liquidity risk; forecasting volatility and correlation; decomposition and verification of risk measures; estimating risk measures; and practical MATLAB programming techniques.

Trading in Practice The courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objective is to give students an understanding of the use of financial instruments by placing them in real trading situations in commodities, derivatives or other financial securities. Sessions are conducted by professional traders in our trading room.

MSc IN FINANCIAL MARKETS

Seminars Advanced Excel & VBA The course is designed to give students knowledge of how to use Excel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to financial modelling problems. Real-life examples will be extensively used in the learning process. This course is designed to be essentially practical.

Ethics & Corporate Governance The seminar provides a basic insight into the meaning and importance of values and norms in the functioning of financial markets. Students will learn to analyse cases in financial ethics in an autonomous manner and to identify the attitude of a responsible actor in financial markets.

MATLAB This is an introductory course to MATLAB, a powerful tool for data analysis and visualisation, and modelling. We first describe the working environment in MATLAB and we present the basic elements of syntax. We then describe how to import data, how to handle them using pre-programmed functions of MATLAB, and how to export the results to use them in a presentation or in a report. We will also study the Financial, Statistics and Econometrics Toolboxes in more detail, which extend MATLAB capabilities in finance, statistics and model calibration.

Research Methodologies The course aims to show students how to write an academic paper. The whole entire process, from identifying a topic, reviewing the literature, structuring a thesis, collecting the data and programming a statistical procedure to writing in a clear and concise style, will be covered.

This 13-month part-time programme, taught in London or Singapore, trains participants to appreciate recent and forthcoming paradigm shifts in investment management. Equipping them with the conceptual and practical tools required to optimise risk and investment management, this programme also helps them to design novel investment solutions for institutional, private and retail investors that span traditional, alternative, and structured forms of investments. The class is an interesting mix of young graduates and professionals, representing. Graduates can find positions in any asset class, including FX, commodities, credit, interest rates and equity among others.

Core modules Alternative Investments The course looks at alternative investments from an asset allocation perspective. It begins with a presentation of assets from private equity and real estate, to hedge funds, commodities and managed futures, and alternatives (infrastructure assets, timber, etc). The emphasis is on investment characteristics, risk and return drivers and statistical properties of alternative classes and investments. The course then looks at the benefits and challenges of integrating alternative assets in asset allocation and discusses alternative integration models.

Advanced Financial Analysis The course imparts a thorough understanding of how financial statements are established and trains participants in financial analysis. After examining specific accounting issues, the course explores conceptual and technical problems in measuring value creation, investments in either working capital or capital expenditure, margin analysis, a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financing, leverage effect and profitability. It deals with the role of financial statement analysis in historical performance evaluation, financial forecasting, equity analysis and valuation of companies. It provides a comparative approach to equity analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; techniques and methodologies, and specifically trains participants in fundamental analysis methods.

MSc IN RISK & INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Empirical Finance The course focuses on the empirical aspects of asset pricing and portfolio management and on the econometrics of financial markets. Applications span primitive and derivative asset pricing, strategic and tactical asset allocation, and trading strategies. Topics covered include asset return modelling and predictability, volatility modelling and forecasting, treatment of non-linearity in data, simulation methods, calibration and testing of pricing models and trading strategies, correlation and co-integration analysis, econometrics of derivatives pricing, and econometrics of fixed-income markets.

Excel, VBA & Matlab The course introduces powerful software tools commonly used by professionals in the financial industry to develop simple or sophisticated models. The first half of the course begins with a review of MS Excel functionalities that are most relevant for building transparent intermediate and advanced models and continues with VBA, which enables user-defined functions and process automation. The second half of the course is dedicated to the professional modelling environment MATLAB and focuses on the language syntax, plotting functionalities, and toolboxes critical for building financial models such as the statistical, the financial, the financial derivative, and the optimisation toolboxes. Finally, the course concludes with an introduction to Octave, which is regarded as an open-source alternative to MATLAB.

Financial Regulations & Ethics The course provides an introduction to the basics of financial regulation and to ethics. The first part of the course includes a review of the Basel Capital Accords and of the European regulation of the investment fund industry, and discusses how professional principles and values interact with the regulation. The second part of the course focuses on five key areas in terms of sound business practices for the investment fund industry, and illustrates through case studies the types of outcomes that may result from the lack of ethics or sound business practices.

Foundations of Asset Pricing & Risk Management The course introduces the economic and mathematical foundations of asset pricing and portfolio management. The course is divided into three parts. In the first part, it studies the valuation of derivative contracts, including options on stocks, currencies, indices, bonds, and interest rates. The second part of the course examines optimal consumption and portfolio decisions under uncertainty, including single-period mean-variance models and multiperiod models. The third part of the course focuses on partial and general equilibrium models for the pricing of primitive securities, such as stocks and bonds. This is a technically challenging course that includes the study of the mathematical methods required for analysing asset pricing and portfolio selection models in continuous time.

I chose EDHEC because I wanted to undertake a career in finance and especially in capital markets. EDHEC is well-known in the financial world and I was convinced that following EDHECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programme would be really positive for my future career and it was the right decision. I chose the MSc in Risk & Investment Management part-time programme because after my gap year, I wanted to add another year of work experience and the programme itself was very catchy on top of being interested in the subject.
