A two-year graduate program

The Banking and Finance (BF) program is a specialized degree designed for students wishing to concentrate their career in financial markets and institutions. The program provides advanced training in the key areas of securities trading and risk management. A major strength of the program is the combination of strong analytical foundation and applications to real-world issues.

Students will learn how to integrate financial models, firm-specific as well as industry and economy-wide factors in their decision making process. English-taught classes enable us to recruit the best and brightest students from all over the world. A diverse and multicultural class will enrich the learning experience. Additionally, familiarity with English – enhanced by its day-by-day practice – is essential for those wishing to pursue a career in finance.

BF students have access to meetings with highly qualified speakers from the financial industry, internship programs in major Italian and international financial institutions, exchange programs in European and US universities.
